What does an adjuster do as soon as you have an accident and they find out about it? Whether its your adjuster (for cases of uninsured motorist coverage) or the liability adjuster of the other party, they want to immediately take your statement. Why? Very simple, often soft tissue injuries manifest themselves over the subsequent days. If they get you to make a statement that you are not injured or barely injured, you devalue your claim and they will allege your injuries to something other than the accident.
I recently represented an insurance attorney didn’t even realize the pain that manifests itself after the accident. If he didn’t know this little game that adjusters play, then I suspect the general public would not know. To protect your interests and make sure your not taken advantage of by an adjuster, contact an attorney specializing in car accidents.
