How Connecticut insurance adjusters try to reduce your award after an accident
The insurance adjuster may try to make you believe that he or she is on your side and will provide all the benefits you need after an accident. However, the insurance company’s job is to reduce as much as possible the amount that it pays out on any claim. Adjusters will use every tactic they can to get you to take less money than you’re owed after an accident, including:
- Taking advantage of unrepresented claimants: When an insurance adjuster realizes that a claimant hasn’t hired an attorney to represent them, they know that the accident victim probably doesn’t know what their claim is really worth and thinks they’re saving money by not hiring a lawyer. The adjuster will try to get the accident victim to accept a lowball settlement in a hurry, before they have the chance to consult with an attorney.
- Failing to accurately describe the benefits you’re entitled to: An insurance adjuster might try to convince you that your policy or the company’s practices bar you from collecting certain types of compensation, such as certain lost wages or transportation costs. In other cases, the adjuster might conveniently forget to tell you that you’re entitled to reimbursement for some of the accident-related costs you’ve described to them. An attorney will be able to read your policy to learn what you have a right to receive under your contract, as well as what you’re entitled to as a matter of law.
- Telling you your claim has no value: Insurers want you to believe that any money you get for your claim is more than they have an obligation to pay, and they might try to convince you that, according to their lawyers, your claim is worth nothing. The best way to find out whether that’s true is by talking to a personal injury attorney who can help you determine what your claim is actually worth.
