The goal of every insurance company is to make profits for its shareholders. This means that an insurance company will do everything it can to deny or delay payments to you. An insurance claim adjuster will try to get you to admit fault, lessen the extent of your injuries, and employ other tactics so you do not get the personal injury compensation you deserve. The first few steps you take after an accident can make or break your insurance claim. Do not accept a quick personal injury settlement offer, and do not give an insurance company any excuse to deny you coverage. Speak to an attorney before you make a statement to an insurance company.
