Insurance Company’s Damaging Tactics after Louisiana Car Accidents

When you become a victim of one of the many Louisiana car accidents, you first should seek medical attention and then get in touch with an attorney at your Louisiana law firm to help you file a claim for the compensation you need and deserve.

Be aware that if you speak to an insurance company before speaking to an attorney, you may say something that could be used against you. This is because an insurance adjuster is trained to use tactics that can devalue your settlement.

3 Tips for Talking to Insurance Adjusters after Louisiana Car Accidents

Although insurance adjusters may seem friendly, helpful and looking out for your best interests, they aren't.  

• Don't give medical records.
• Don't give details of your car accident.
• Don't give permission to record your statements. 

This is especially imperative if your case goes to trial because an insurance adjuster may be called to the witness stand, and if he/she has a recorded statement from you that is damaging, it can and most likely will be used against you.

Often, an insurance adjuster will try to find ways to misinterpret your words so you won't be able to collect a full settlement. The Young Law Firm in New Orleans, Louisiana, is familiar with these insurance tactics and can successfully help you pursue a fair and full settlement for your injuries.
