Is Your Insurance Adjuster Withholding Money From Your California Injury Claim?

The following article is a guest post from the California personal injury lawyers at Bisnar & Chase.

Personal injury victims in California can become challenged with a number of stressful situations. Those who are injured may want to hire a skilled and knowledgeable lawyer. If you decide to negotiate your case, you will need to be prepared to battle it out with your insurance adjuster to receive a just settlement. 

One of the fatal misconceptions that a number of injury accident victims make is believing the insurance adjuster is on your side. This could not be further from the truth. An insurance adjuster is not on your side.  An adjuster will be awarded and in some cases promoted based on how much money he saves the company.  Every dollar an insurance company withholds from your settlement is another dollar of profit for the shareholders. 

In a perfect world, the insurance adjuster would happily give you a fair settlement for all of your damages.  Because an adjuster works on behalf of a for profit business, it is important to keep in mind that they are not there to help you. One of the adjuster's tricks is to act like they are your friend. An adjuster's act of being kind is just that, an act. 

Be careful what you tell your adjuster and how you communicate your message to him. An adjuster will sometimes record what you have said and use it against you later (sometimes out of context).
