Texas law states requires that people who drive on our roadways need to have car insurance. When you file your insurance claim, the insurance adjustor will call you. They will also want to record the conversation. Although the goal of insurance is to protect you from a financial catastrophe, insurance companies are for-profit. To help ensure that they make a profit, their adjustors will often attempt to minimize your injuries and the property damage, leaving you to foot at least some of the bill (even if you’ve never made a claim before).
Because of this, it’s best that you don’t talk with an insurance adjustor on your own. They may trick you into saying something that makes it sound like you’re responsible for at least part of the accident. They’ll also try to get you to sign a settlement agreement to pay you less than what you need or what your claim is actually worth. A San Antonio car accident attorney can represent you during your conversation with the adjustor, answer any further questions the adjustor may have, and make sure that the insurance company provides you with a fair settlement. If they don’t, the job of your attorney is to take them to court.
