Insurance Companies have trained adjusters and lawyers to represent their financial interests; you deserve to have the same
Insurance adjusters are not employed by insurance companies to help accident victims. The job of the insurance adjuster is to save the insurance company money. No matter how nice and concerned the insurance adjuster may sound when they call you, he or she is not your friend and is not concerned about providing you with fair compensation. The goal of the adjuster is always to save the insurance company the most money possible. Sadly, the way they accomplish this is often by convincing injured persons that they do not need a lawyer. Insurance companies know that they pay less on claims with injured parties do not protect their rights by having legal representation.
