What the insurance company won't say

You deserve the full picture — not just their side of it.

Insurance adjusters are polite. They are also trained to protect their company. Here are a few things it helps to know before that first call.

  • What they say

    "We just need a quick recorded statement."

    What's actually true

    You are generally not required to give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company. What you say can be used to reduce or deny your claim.

  • What they say

    "This is the best offer we can make."

    What's actually true

    First offers are often low. A well-documented claim can change the picture significantly.

  • What they say

    "You don't need a lawyer for a case like this."

    What's actually true

    Adjusters work for the insurance company. Speaking with an attorney before making decisions can help protect your interests.

  • What they say

    "Sign here so we can process your check faster."

    What's actually true

    Signing a release can end your claim permanently — even if your injuries turn out to be worse than they first seemed. Have an attorney review anything before you sign.
