What you tell an adjuster can be used to reduce or deny your claim for compensation altogether and can be used against you if you file a car accident lawsuit. For example, admitting that your traffic signal was red before you entered the intersection can not only result in a denial of your insurance claim against the other party but can also be used to establish your own fault and negligence in causing the crash, thus denying your ability to recover compensation in court. This is why it is important to review the facts of your crash with your attorney before speaking with the adjuster.
