After an accident, it’s natural to want answers quickly—and insurance adjusters seem eager to help. But don’t be fooled. Their job is to save their company money, not to protect your best interests. At Mahna Law, we’ve seen firsthand how insurance companies twist words and use statements against injured people. Here’s why you should never talk to an insurance adjuster without an attorney.
The Role of Insurance Adjusters
1. Who do insurance adjusters really work for?
Insurance adjusters represent the insurance company—not you. Their main goal is to close claims quickly and for as little money as possible. No matter how friendly or concerned they sound, their loyalty is to their employer’s bottom line. At Mahna Law, we make sure your rights—not their profits—come first.
2. Why do they want a recorded statement?
Adjusters often ask for a recorded statement early in the process. They may say it’s standard procedure, but what they’re really doing is searching for ways to reduce your claim. Even innocent statements can be used against you later. That’s why we handle all communication with insurers for our clients—from day one.
Common Tactics Used Against You
3. Twisting your words
Many clients are shocked when they hear how their words were misrepresented. A simple phrase like “I’m fine” or “I didn’t see them coming” can be used to suggest you weren’t really injured or were at fault. Insurance adjusters are trained in phrasing questions to get damaging answers. At Mahna Law, we protect your voice and your case.
4. Pressuring you to settle early
Another common trick is pushing for a quick settlement. You may not even know the full extent of your injuries yet—but once you sign, it’s over. You can’t go back and ask for more. We help you get proper medical evaluations and ensure any settlement fully accounts for your long-term recovery.
Protecting Your Rights and Future
5. What happens if you already spoke to them?
If you’ve already talked to an adjuster, don’t panic. Call Mahna Law right away. We’ll review any statements made and take over all communication moving forward. You still have rights—and we’ll make sure they’re enforced every step of the way.
6. How can Mahna Law help?
We handle all contact with the insurance company so you don’t have to. From reviewing medical records to negotiating for maximum compensation, our job is to level the playing field. We’ve gone head-to-head with insurers and know exactly how to protect your interests.
What You Should Do Instead
7. Don’t sign anything without a lawyer
Never sign documents from the insurance company without legal review. What seems like a routine release could waive your rights to further compensation. Mahna Law will review all documents, explain your options, and prevent costly mistakes.
8. Focus on healing—we’ll do the rest
After an accident, your top priority should be your recovery—not navigating insurance games. Let us take the stress off your plate. We’ll handle the paperwork, fight the legal battles, and make sure you’re protected every step of the way.
Conclusion
Talking to insurance adjusters on your own can cost you dearly. At Mahna Law, we’re here to shield you from their tactics and fight for every dollar you deserve. And remember—you pay nothing unless we win.
