After
you have filed an insurance claim for personal injury, your insurance
company will send an adjuster to interview you. The insurance
adjuster will use this opportunity to review your case. This is why
it is such a crucial part of your claim. If you say something or do
something wrong, it can affect your case and your insurance company
might end up giving a low-ball offer.
Here
are some of the things you should never do when dealing with ICBC
adjusters by
Lawyers
in Prince George BC:
-
Offer too much information.
While
it’s important to divulge necessary details about the accident and
the extent of your injuries, saying too much even when those things
are not being asked can put you at a disadvantage. You might
inadvertently say something that can cause the adjuster to think that
your injuries aren’t that significant.
-
Come unprepared.
Not
knowing about the details of your injuries and forgetting small
things like how it affects your day-to-day life can also affect your
claim. This is why it is important for claimants to come with all the
documents needed as well as document their pain and suffering through
a journal to make recall so much easier.
-
Undermine your injuries.
Don’t
just shrug off your injuries as minor, especially when comprehensive
tests aren’t done yet. On the other hand, don’t exaggerated your
injuries as well. The insurance adjuster might just think you are
acting just to get a higher offer.
This
is why it is important to talk to Prince George lawyers even before
meeting up with the insurance adjuster. Lawyers in Prince George BC
from law firms such as DB Law can help you prepare for the meeting
with the insurance adjuster and guide you properly on how to deal
with them.
