Should I talk to the insurance adjuster in a catastrophic injury case?

It is important to be very cautious when talking to an insurance adjuster in a catastrophic injury case in Tennessee. If you are the victim of a catastrophic injury, you should always consult a lawyer before you speak to an adjuster. While an insurance adjuster may appear friendly and helpful, their primary goal is to reduce the amount of money they have to pay out in a settlement. An adjuster may try to use your statements against you by suggesting you are partly at fault for the injury or to reduce the value of your claim. This could significantly decrease how much money you receive in a settlement. In addition, insurance adjusters may try to get you to agree to a settlement that does not cover all of your damages. An attorney can help you understand your rights and negotiate with the insurer to make sure you receive the compensation you are entitled to. The best way to protect yourself in a catastrophic injury case is to speak with an experienced lawyer who can advise you on the best course of action for your situation.
