Were you in a car accident and you’re just about to call the insurance company but you wanted to check what to say (and not to say or do) to an insurance adjuster? Check out this short video to find out.
You just got in an accident an you’re about to call an insurance company. The question you should be asking yourself is how to deal with the insurance adjuster.
Here is a list of what to say or not to say or do to an insurance adjuster during the claim process:
0:00 Introduction
0:55 Never admit fault for an accident
1:50 Never give a recorded statement
3:20 Don’t accept first settlement offer
4:10 Don’t get mad at the insurance adjuster
4:50 Don’t trust an insurance adjuster
5:50 Call insurance co and get them location of your vehicle
6:42 Always ask for claim number and adjuster’s name and contact info
7:15 Two situations where the above may not apply
First, do not admit fault. No brainer right? But you could say something that incriminates you like you were driving 35 in a 25 zone. If you admit you were speeding they’re going to find you at least partially at fault for the accident.
Second, you should not agree to give a recorded statement. Why? Because they’re trying to get you on the record so that they can use anything you say to try and deny, delay or diminish your claim later.
One big exception to the recorded statement rule - you may have to give a recorded statement to your own insurance company. Why? You have an obligation to work with them written in your contract and if you don’t they might deny your claim or even cancel your coverage.
Number 3 thing you should not say to the adjuster is that you agree to settle your case for a small amount. This is an insurance adjuster trick. They’ll tell you to give them your medical bills and that they’ll take care of them for you and give you an extra $500 or $1000.
That money sounds good up front right. But its much less than you are likely entitled to.
The 4th thing you should not say (or in this case, do) to your insurance adjuster is get mad or scream at the adjuster. Getting mad is not going to help. Just document in writing via fax or email what they’re doing. That is the way to build a case that they’re not working with you, not screaming at them.
The 5th thing you shouldn’t do with an insurance adjuster is trust them. They work for the insurance company and the insurance company’s goal is to pay you as little as possible. So I don’t care how nice these folks are being to you, they do not have your best interests at heart.
The 6th thing you should tell your adjuster - Get them the location of the vehicle - sooner you get the vehicle inspected the better. Especially if in tow yard because those storage fees of $40 a day or whatever are going to come out of your property damage settlement.
Number 7 - don’t give the adjuster a ton of information about your injuries. If you have injuries you should either 1. Talk to an attorney before calling the insurance company or 2. When the adjuster asks you about your injuries say you’re considering talking to an attorney and don’t want to get into injuries at that point.
Here are two questions you need to ask your adjuster:
First - it will be a lot easier on you later if you make sure you get your newly assigned claim number for your accident. And second, you should ask if an adjuster is automatically assigned to the claim and if so what is their name and contact info.
Ok having said all of that I need to caution you about 2 things:
First, a lot of what I’ve said in this video pertains to people who have suffered injuries in a car accident. If you just suffered property damage, have no injuries, you probably won’t need an attorney’s help and you can communicate with the adjuster to get the car appraised and repaired or totaled out.
Second, I mentioned it above briefly but again, generally speaking you have an obligation to work with your own insurance company. But beware, if you pursue damages against your own insurance company for UM or UIM, they become adverse. And you’re going to treat them that way.
If you are about to contact an insurance company and would like to speak with a personal injury lawyer before you call, reach out to me at info@legalvlogger.com.

If your insurance goes up, change companies! Most are willing to give you an excellent rate just for switching to them. When you use this strategy, you may be changing companies every 3-4 years, but your savings will be well worth it!

Your advice is right on target! I have a perfect example of an insurance company not acting in "Good Faith"! They put PROFIT before PEOPLE! They are snakes in the grass. The other driver was breaking the law driving in a shared left turn lane. She ran into me while I was stopped. She was ticketed! The other insurance company claimed I was partly at fault! 😆😆😆😆

Factors That Affect the Claim Timeline: - State timeframes for insurance claims (some states are stricter than others) - Type of claim being filed (bodily injury takes longer than property damage) - Extent of physical damage or injuries (severe accidents can take a long time to settle) - Communication between drivers, insurance companies, and adjusters (slow communication delays the claim timeline) - Understanding of policy and coverage (you might think your policy covers you in a situation when it really doesn’t) - Ability to pay insurance deductible (your insurance company won’t pay out until you’ve paid your deductible)

I had an accident on 5/25, it was a hit and run. I wasn’t able to see who hit me since it was late night and starting to rain. They hit me from the rear left side and Made me spin until I reached the final lane at the right, I was driving on second lane from left to right. My car is total loss. What can I expect from my insurance? Can I claim for body injuries? No blood or broken bones, but my whole body hurts. What are the limits of my Uninsured Motorist coverage? Should I hire a lawyer? I appreciate your response. Thanks!🙏

Good morning, not sure what to expect from your ins co - depends on the quality of the co and what’s in your ins policy. Generally speaking in an uninsured motorist claim you can try and make a claim for your injuries. You may be in a “no fault” state so you should research that. If you do get medical treatment for your injuries I would suggest you at least consult with an attorney - but I always recommend that. I’m biased, I’m a p.i. attorney….. As far as the limits on your policy you need to ask your ins co that question.

I got into an accident on 05/25. I was driving home on the freeway and it was raining pretty hard at night. A semi truck comes up on my right side and he slightly swerves into my lane. I steered to the left a little to avoid it, but started to hydroplane and crashed into the semi truck. My car was wrecked and the truck just kept driving off. I unfortunately had to use my insurance but they are claiming my car a total loss. I’m not sure what I should do next.

Hello sir, I unfortunately got in an accident yesterday. Tbone. It was a 4 way road. I was going north there was a stop Sign and I was going to turn to go west. Due to obstructed view I could not see In the westward direction so I scooted up slowly until I had a good viewpoint of making the turn of course I was at a complete stop. When I did a double take to make sure I could turn. A woman was going very fast Eastbound T boned me on my drivers side. Now I was not under my moms insurance but I do have my own with my motorcycle and truck. I just wondered what the best advice there is as far as a situation like this and I also wanted to notify that I was at drill for the Navy when this happened I got off base but a military police officer took the report my mom called a lawyer here but they said since it is military and since I was given the ticket through MP and not civilian she could not help and that id have to fight alone with the military court?

I was in a hit-and-run accident, and I got the guy‘s license plate number as he sped off at long with a video. The insurance adjuster I was working at the time was delivering in an order and my company. My insurance company never asked me what my car intended was for use so I’m not covered because I wasn’t covered as a commercial vehicle and my work doesn’t cover my accident so now I’m left with paying the damages to my car even though it was a hit-and-run accident. Then I talk to my insurance agent and they told me that they no longer work with my insurance company so and they never notified me and now I’m left with these damages to my car

Other guy was %100 guilty but because of stop sign ( which i stop before i turn left) they try to make me at least %50 guilty in this stuation. I had honda civic 2016 .

Hi, I'm not sure I entirely understand what you are asking. Generally speaking, they will do an appraisal of your vehicle and make a determination as to the actual cash value of your vehicle. So I'm not sure what you mean how much money you should claim from them - unless you suffered injuries as well.... But listen, your state may have different laws. I strongly recommend you consult with a local attorney about this.

I just got into an accident 4/19, driving on a main road in the left lane, and a driver coming from the intersecting road ran in front of me causing me to hit my brakes.. unfortunately I couldn't slow down fast enough to avoid collision. I made the mistake of giving my statement to his insurance adjuster (considering this is my first car accident I lacked the knowledge of not being required to give them my statement)..when I was done with my statement, the adjuster asked if I would like to add anything, I added that the other driver admitted fault at the scene and that the officer was a witness to that. She cut me off saying technically I hit his car so therefore it was my fault. After that I just requested to also add to my statement that I had the right of way, I was driving the speed limit, I had no stop light or stop sign, and that he did have a stop sign. She subsequently continued saying it was my fault. Will I have enough with the crash report from the officer to avoid having to hire a lawyer?

Hello, I was in a low-speed accident with no injury that took place on the parking lot of a restaurant which is private property. I was NOT at fault and so the at fault's insurance company adjustor has only admitted to being 80 percent at fault thus meaning I would be 20 percent at fault. I am not sure how to proceed as I know I was not at fault at any percentage.

Typical ins co b.s. to try and save some money. Unfortunately, you're choices are to use your own ins co to get the prop damage fixed and let them go after the other side for reimbursement (if you have coverage that is) or you could file a lawsuit against the third party (possibly in small claims court depending on how much damage there is). That would probably get them to accept 100%

So my dad was driving my car and it was in an accident, I didn't realize as a new car owner that I only had liability, now the other insurance company is denying the claim and mines won't help either though they made the decision before even the police report came in and they used a private video footage from residence to base their decision. My insurance company states the video shows both drivers at fault but they won't go after them for us because of the liability. So confused, what should be my next step, independent arbitration and how much does that cost? Please help.

Morning. Not sure I entirely understand. In terms of arbitration - you're referring to appealing your own ins co's decision? If so, I guess that could be an option. In terms of the other guy who was involved in the accident, if you really feel you were not at fault for the accident and their ins co denied your claim, your only choice against the 3d party would be to file a lawsuit against them. You might want to research how to file a claim in small claims court depending on how much $$ the damage is.

Recently was in an accident and the other party was at fault and I'm in an at-fault state. Anyway I bought my car 2 years ago for $2,500. I was waiting for the offer from the insurance, ready to deny because I knew it would be a lowball offer. To my surprise they offered me $5,500! I guess they use a 3rd party and see what similar vehicles have sold for in my area. So I was really happy with that. Now I need to call back the original claims adjuster and see how to get my lost wages reimbursed. Now I lost my job over this, can I seek more reimbursement for that? Also what else should I ask for? My fiance has had to take Uber to and from work since this happened, and it's well over $400 in fees so far. I am the only driver, so she relies on me for transport. Let me know, thanks!

Hi, well, you can ask for whatever you want. But whether they will give it to you is a totally different story. But lost wages are reasonable.

First day of my vacation I met with the accident( my brother was driving). I have to cancel all my plan as I hurt my wrist, elbow, head, right ribs, cut tongue, neck and back pain and most important, fear. I stay at my brother house for rest of my vacation and have to call my work to sent someone to drive me back to red deer as I was so scare. Once I was back to red deer,, I went to see my family doctor who sent me for X Ray and prescript medication for my pain. I have trouble driving, seating for longer duration or standing. I talk to Insurance adjuster( wish I watch your video before) and recorded my statement where I mention all. I am not looking for any compensation and I told Insurance adjuster as well that I didn't loose any wages as I took vacation which I accumulated over the year.

The insurance adjuster called me this morning and gave me a number I feel is not adaquate more like a put down. He told me I have a $500 deductible and I got upset with him and told him I was not at fault and the other driver who has insurance hit us pretty hard. This is causing more stress and worries for me. This agent did not come out to check my truck in person they had a lady come and take photos . Based on this how can he determine the exact damage because there is damage underneath and behind the bumper. The muffler is also displaced. Do I call the adjuster back or the insurance agent and what do I tell them.

Hi - sorry for the delay responding. But I'm confused about what you're asking. And I really don't know anything about traffic tickets - that's more a question for a traffic ticket attorney rather than a p.i. lawyer. I'm sorry but I'm not sure I can be much help on this one...

Is denying fault not lying about a claim and falls under fraud? And keeping information not incriminating yourself?

Morning - sorry for the delay responding to your message. I'm not sure I entirely understand what your question is. Also, I'm not sure you should say anything further about this online. I'd speak with a local attorney if you have that capability.

Typical insurance company b.s. Unfortunately, you have 2 options, accept some percentage of fault or file a lawsuit (possible in small claims court depending on the amount of damage) and they should come around then

Why is it that when u get any other item with a form of insurance, it don’t matter who broke the ITEM it’s covered. But not a vehicle. I thought I was getting insurance for the vehicle not me driving.

Hi Matthew, I'm sorry you're going through this. It's in the ins policy. Who is covered and when. I've seen it many times. But don't just take their word for it. Ask them to send you a copy of your policy. And ask them to show you where in the policy it says that the driver is not covered.

I had just come over train tracks and was crossing the street that ran parallel to the tracks, the other driver left their stop sign and ran into the side of my car. I reported the accident to my insurance provider, they told me that I didn't have collisonand that I was on my own and they didn't have to talk to me. The other driver had admitted to causing the accident on the police report, her company came after me and kept sawing that I caused the accident. They ran me around for over one and a half months. I kept sending damage estimates which that said never arrived. After I mentioned a lawyer, they suddenly found those estimates and started working with me. Well I can say that "she was in good hands", I think they are crooks.

I have had my vehicle damaged and repair costs are 9K, so the insurance company wants to total my vehicle, but I cannot be made whole if they do that. I am asking them to repair the vehicle and I'm against them "totally" my vehicle, because I'd lose thousands if they do and I'm not at fault.

Hi - very sorry you're going through this. Not sure there's that much you can do. But you should check your state's law on this topic. Have you consulted with a local attorney about it? If not, I strongly recommend that you do.... Sorry I can't be more helpful on this one. Just more of a local issue.

I was in a no contact accident last week. A cat swerved into my lane causing me to avoid and hit a Tesla. Tesla has a video recording but no where can I find the car. Police report says I am at 41 of “may have contributed” the accident and Tesla is at 4. I guess my ins will cover the costs of repairs both cars and my ins will go up drastically?

Hi. I'm sorry to hear about this. However, I'm not the right person to ask about ins rates going up - I would strongly recommend you speak to your ins agent about this. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful on this one. But ins rates are a bit outside my area of knowledge.... Good luck and again, sorry you're dealing with this.

@@sacdigitaldesignweb Hi, not entirely sure what you mean uninsured/underinsured case.... But in terms of whether your ins co will pay for the damages - that depends on your policy. I would consult with the ins adjuster and/or your ins agent to find out what type of coverage you have.

@@LawFull this is really not my fault even police report indicated my contribution index is much higher than Tesla. But if the third car didn’t swerve in front of me I wouldn’t hit Tesla. Tesla’s recording can be my witness. Since the car drove off the scene we have no where to find it. That’s why I think my ins will treat this as uninsured underinsured case. Thanks again for your response!
