How do I Decide Whether I Need Legal Representation?

If your injuries are substantial, it is extremely unlikely that the insurance adjuster will be authorized to make a settlement offer to you that approaches the reasonable value of your losses. Initial claims adjusters simply do not have that authorization. If you believe that the insurance company is not going to adequately compensate your losses, you should contact an attorney. Insurance company adjusters are very well trained at representing the interests of their insurance company so as to minimize the payment that you receive for your losses. Do not be misled into believing that the insurance adjuster’s aim is to be fair in handling your claim. On the contrary, everything in the training of the adjuster is designed to minimize the payment that he makes to you for your losses.
