The best course of action is to hire a seasoned Duluth catastrophic injury attorney as soon as you can. Ideally, before the insurance adjuster even has a chance to review your claim and call you. Once an attorney represents you, the adjuster will need to speak with them and not you.
Never forget that an insurance adjuster’s job is to save the insurance company money. If they offer you a settlement that indeed represents the value of your claim, they aren’t doing their job. As such, they will do everything possible to pay you less than what your claim is worth.
They might try to contact you shortly after the accident. Reaching you before you have a chance to talk to a Duluth catastrophic injury lawyer is their first-line strategy to get you to accept a small settlement.
If they do reach you, they will likely ask for a recorded statement about the accident. If you agree, they will attempt to get you to say things that the adjuster might twist or misinterpret to mean something else or even take your statements out of context. Once there’s a recording of something you said, unfortunately, there’s no arguing about it. Even if they aren’t recording their conversation with you, they will attempt to use anything you say against you.
Protect yourself and your injury claim by not speaking to the insurance adjuster or giving into their less than acceptable settlement offers. Instead, hire a Duluth catastrophic injury attorney who will do everything they can to get you a full and fair settlement for your devastating injuries.
