After you have been involved in a serious Wallingford, Connecticut accident case, you should have a great number of questions that need to be answered. One of the first things that may happen, after you have been involved in an a CT accident, is that you will be contacted by the insurance company of the at fault party. This may happen as quickly as the day of your accident or it may take several days after you have been injured. In most instances, the insurance adjuster will sound quite concerned and will be apologetic about your situation. You will be advised that the adjuster wants to help you resolve your case. You feel very comfortable in being able to discuss your case with someone who appears to be so concerned so quickly after your accident.
This is the last thing that you should be doing after you have been injured through the fault of another. You should not speak with the at fault party’s insurance adjuster. The insurance adjusters sole job is to pay you the least amount of money possible for the injuries that you sustained in in your accident. So what are some of the questions that the insurance adjuster could ask you that might create problems for your case? Further, how does the insurance adjuster go about paying you the least amount of money possible for your case?
One of the things that the insurance adjuster might tell you is that he or she needs to take a recorded statement from you before they can process any of your bills. This information is not true. One of the things that the insurance adjuster will want you to do is to admit that you either share some percentage fault in the accident, that you weren’t paying attention, that you could’ve taken a last second maneuver to avoid the accident, or that you are in some way to blame for either the accident itself or in failing to avoid the accident. The adjuster will also want you to downplay your injuries and claim that nothing serious happened to you in this accident. If you are speaking with the insurance adjuster on the day of your accident, many times, the extent of your injuries will not be known by you nor will they be completely felt by you at this early stage. So, if you indicate to the insurance adjuster that you have not really been injured, that information will later be used, after you discover that you have in fact been injured, to show that you initially said you were not injured.
These are just a few of the examples that insurance adjusters use in their effort to pay you the least amount of money possible.
