After your accident, an insurance adjuster may reach out to you and ask for a statement. He or she may say that if you provide a statement or accept an early settlement offer, you will receive the money you need to recover faster. While this may be tempting, it is important to wait to speak to your Norristown car accident attorney before accepting any offers or speaking to insurance representatives.
The truth is that insurance companies are not always on the side of the victims. It is in the best interest of adjusters to protect the company’s bottom line by saving costs as much as possible. This means that the offer you accept is likely lower than one if you filed a claim or a lawsuit, and may not be sufficient to compensate your damages. If you give a premature statement, the company can use what you say against you if you discover new information later on. All of these factors can make it difficult to seek full compensation.
