First, you should never speak with an insurance adjuster unless you are very knowledgeable about insurance practices. While these individuals may seem friendly, kind and easy to get along with, they are certainly here to take advantage of unsuspecting accident victims. They will try to coax statements from you that will eventually eliminate the liability of their insured or lower your settlement. That’s why it’s never a good move to speak to them without legal counsel from a competent personal injury lawyer. If you have to, keep your responses at a minimum. The same should apply if a lawyer for another person reaches out to you.
