If you are planning legal action against another individual for your accident, you should not speak with the insurance adjuster until speaking with our DC personal injury lawyers. The adjuster may try to persuade you in giving a statement or bully you into taking the first settlement offered. Unfortunately, the first settlement you receive will rarely cover the amount owed following an accident. Instead, tell the adjuster they will need to contact your personal injury attorney or, if you haven’t retained an accident attorney yet, to speak with your insurance company.
