Who is the insurance adjuster?
The insurance adjuster is an insurance company employee who will deal with you on the phone or in person about your property damage and injuries. Insurance adjustors are smart, highly trained people who may be friendly and helpful. However, the adjuster’s job is to pay you as little as possible for your claim. Always remember that anything you tell the adjuster can and will be used against you. If you are injured, it is usually wise to consult with a lawyer before you give any form of a recorded statement to an adjuster. How do I contact the insurance company? The other driver’s insurance may contact you after a wreck. Sometimes no one calls. In these circumstances you may need to contact an attorney or you may decide to contact the other insurance company yourself. Once you know the name of the other driver’s insurance (which should be shown on the “exchange slip” and in the police accident report), look up the company in the phone book or call insurance agents who sell insurance for
