Dealing with insurance adjusters after a Wichita Falls or Dallas car wreck is a delicate thing. You see, the goal of the insurance companies is to maximize profit and they do that by paying as little as possible on your claim. To justify minimizing your claim, they will use things you tell them either to make it sound like you were at fault, it wasn’t that bad of an accident, or your injuries aren’t that bad. That’s why it’s very important to be careful what you say to them.
How to Handle Insurance Adjusters Dealing with Your Wichita Falls and Dallas Car Wreck
Because of the risk that comes along with talking to insurance adjusters, we recommend not talking to them until you first speak with an experienced Wichita Falls and Dallas car wreck lawyer. We want to be clear: you do not have to give the other person’s insurance company a recorded statement and you do not have to give them an authorization to get your medical records. As we said, we suggest you first consult with a lawyer before you do anything.
Handling Your Wichita Falls and Dallas Car Wreck on Your Own
If you decide to handle your case on your own, you’re probably going to have to give that recorded statement and turn over your medical records. In that case, we recommend giving as little information as possible, sticking to the facts and what is contained in the police report as much as possible. Also, we recommend being very methodical about what medical records your turn over. You should only turn over records that are relevant to the accident.
