What type of information is an insurance adjuster looking for?
An insurance adjuster will look at the circumstances of the claim, determine whether there was an injury, and decide how much responsibility you bear for your own trip-and-fall accident. The adjuster may ask you: • How you were injured, and the extent of your injuries • What you were doing just before the accident • Whether there were any warnings posted in the area of your accident • Whether you had a reason for being in the area An insurance adjuster will be looking to get the victim of a slip-and-fall accident to agree to a settlement. If you believe you have expenses that exceed the property owner’s or tenant’s insurance limits or if you believe that your fall-related expenses may be spread out over many years, it is better to consult with an attorney who is familiar with slip-and-fall injury cases before talking to an insurance company representative.
