Generally, we do not recommend speaking with an insurance adjuster directly about your claim. Insurance adjusters are often looking for ways they can reduce a payout on a claim. Be very wary of an adjuster who contacts you requesting a statement or if the adjuster wants specific information about the injuries you sustained. If you have been contacted to give a statement to an insurance carrier, you should contact an attorney first. Our attorneys will prepare you to give a statement, if it’s necessary, or communicate with the adjuster on your behalf.
However, if you are contacted by an adjuster from your insurance, then you will likely have to speak with them about the accident. Most insurance contracts require that you cooperate with your insurance company in investigating and resolving a claim. If you have an attorney, your insurance carrier will contact your attorney for further information.
