How To Get Money from a Los Angeles Car Accident Without a Lawyer

Beware of Other Insurance Adjuster Tactics 

Insurance adjusters often know what kinds of questions to ask to confuse you or catch you off guard. They aim to pay as little as possible for your claim. Never overexplain any answers or give them information they didn’t request. 

Here are some other things to watch out for when dealing with an insurance company after a collision: 

• Beware of what you post on social media – the insurance company can use pictures, check-ins, and statements against you. 
• Never discuss fault with the adjuster – provide basic facts about the car accident, but don’t say whether you or the other driver share responsibility. 
• Don’t discuss your injuries too early in the claims process – many injuries take weeks or months to manifest symptoms, so wait for your doctor’s clearance before giving statements.
• Don’t consent to give the insurance company access to your medical records – they’ll look for pre-existing conditions to use against you.
• Don’t sign anything until you fully understand the implications and what it means for your car accident claim. 

Follow your instincts when dealing with your claim. If something feels wrong, schedule a free case assessment with an attorney to discuss the situation and protect yourself.
