Insurance Adjusters & Accidents
At some point after an accident, you may be approached by an insurance
adjuster who represents the insurance company of the person who caused
the accident. No matter how friendly and caring, or aggressive and
threatening, this adjuster may appear, he works for the insurance
company and his job is to save that company money. He does that by
reducing your claim. He may try to convince you that you should accept
a lower settlement. He may try to convince you that you were at fault,
partially or completely. He may try to convince you that you do not
need a lawyer. At no time will he be working on your behalf. His sole
job is to protect the insurance company and he will use every technique
he knows to do so.
Although you should always be courteous, you are not required to give any oral
statement to the other side’s insurance company. Listen to what he says and note
the questions he asked, but do not enter into a dialogue with him. Tell your lawyer
what was said and have him evaluate your case. He will be able to direct you as
to necessary communications with the defendant’s insurance company.
If you or a loved one is in need of legal assistance, call BAGOLIE

an online questionnaire. The initial consultation is free of charge, and
if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which

In many cases, a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date,
known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you
do not waive your right to possible compensation.
