Insurance companies are out to make money.  The less money they give you, the more they make.  Although adjusters may seem friendly and give the impression that they are trying to help you get as much money as possible, remember that they do not get ahead in their careers without giving you the least amount of money possible.

Insurance companies do not want you to hire a lawyer.  They will tell you things that they wouldn’t dare say to an attorney, because they know that no experienced lawyer would believe it.  They know that if you hire an attorney, you will get more money, which means they make less.

Insurance company adjusters are very skilled.  They will attempt to play you and make you feel like the offer they have given you is the best you can expect to get.  They will pretend as if they don’t care whether you accept their offer or not.  They will act as though it doesn’t matter to them if you take the case to court.  Remember, they DO want to settle your claim out of court, regardless of how they act.

You may be eligible to receive compensation for things you don’t even realize, such as prescriptions, damage to things inside your car, the loss of your car, and mileage to doctors appointments.  Your insurance adjuster will probably not inform you of these things.

Lastly, insurance companies are gaining interest on every dollar that they have.  Therefore, it is actually in their best interest to drag out your claim so they can continue gaining interest on your settlement.  So unless they can settle the claim inexpensively, they will try to drag it out.  Insurance companies will always try to pay you the least amount of money that they can get away with.  You will be much better equipped to get what you deserve with the help of a personal injury attorney from The Advocates, serving Salt Lake, Provo and Ogden areas.
