If you were severely injured in a car accident, you are likely facing extensive medical bills, lost wages, and overall economic distress. To recover compensation for your injuries, you will need to file an insurance claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance carrier.

However, before speaking with an insurance adjuster, you should keep in mind that the insurance adjuster won’t have your best interests at heart. At the end of the day, the insurance adjuster will do what they can to protect their bottom line. For such reasons, it is important to be prepared and answer questions cautiously when speaking with an insurance adjuster.
