The Number 1 Way to Destroy Your New Orleans Injury Claim

The number one mistake you can make with your New Orleans injury claim is to give too much information to the insurance company. Although quaint commercial campaigns featuring familiar faces, goofy characters, and adorable talking animals might lead us to believe that the insurance companies are on our side, their interests are the same as any other business – to make a profit.

Insurance companies do that by charging a premium for their coverage and then paying out as little money as possible for automobile insurance claims. The following are other ways you can prevent information from winding up in your insurance company’s hands: 

• don’t say anything on your social media sites that would damage your claim;
• never give contact information to your claims adjuster - friends, spouse’s, or doctor’s; and
• if you don’t know the answer to a question, don’t guess – just say you don’t know. 

Insurance adjusters may seem nice on the phone, and some of them are, in fact, genuinely nice people, but they’re looking out for their employer’s interests, not yours. The easiest way to avoid giving too much data to the insurance company is to speak to them through your attorney.
