How do insurance adjusters manipulate accident assessments?
The investigator or adjuster from the other side's insurance company may appear to be concerned, pleasant and even seem as though he or she is on your side. However, the adjuster's job is to protect the insurance company, which means paying you as little as possible or not all.
Do not fall for manipulative tactics.
The adjuster may try to minimize the nature and extent of the pain or the impact of any permanent injury. While that may outrage you, other tactics are more subtle. The adjuster may persuade you to accept full or partial responsibility for the accident when it was not your fault by saying, "I guess you should have paid more attention," or tell you how difficult it will be to recover by saying, "If I were you I’d accept this. You’ll never get more. The court process and hiring an attorney is too expensive...." An experienced car accident attorney can help you avoid these traps.
