If you’ve been in a car crash or had an injury where insurance is involved, you know that to receive compensation, you have to work with the insurance adjustor. Their job is to look out for the insurance company & save them as much money as possible. Because of that, their offers are usually lower than what is fair. In order to receive fair compensation for your damages, hiring an experienced attorney is an important step. They will help evaluate your claim and come up with a number that is fair for you and that is likely much higher than the offer from the insurance company.


Whether you’re talking about damages to property or medical expenses, the adjustor will often use a lower value when adding up those costs. They use their own resources and reasons to try to lower the amount you’re owed. Having a lawyer on your side can help ensure those numbers are valued correctly and take all damages into account. Another tactic commonly used by insurance adjustors is to challenge the amount you submit through receipts and bills. Your attorney can help make sure that everything is included in their offer.


You should never take the first offer that the insurance company gives you. The best thing you can do is hire an attorney so they can maximize your claim and help confirm the value of all your damages. Your attorney can also fight against some of the tactics insurance companies use to lower the value of your case. Your outcome will be much better if you have a trained attorney to handle any issues that may arise in the course of the claims process and can aggressively advocate for the compensation you deserve.
