Speaking to Insurance Adjusters After a Kentucky Truck Accident

If you've been involved in a Kentucky truck accident, chances are, within a few days or weeks of your accident, you'll be contacted by an insurance adjuster representing the truck driver or trucking company involved in your collision. While the insurance adjuster might sound extremely kind and concerned about how you are feeling, don't be fooled!

That insurance adjuster is paid to do one simple thing: get you to disclose any information that could allow the insurance company (their boss) to deny your truck injury claim or offer you the lowest settlement possible.

The insurance adjuster will ask you if they can record your conversation; always say "NO." They'll also ask questions about what you were doing directly before and after your truck accident, how you are feeling, what kind of injuries you sustained and so on.

Keep your answers brief, exact, and unquestionable. Don't start statements with "I think" or other vague descriptors that could allow the opposing side to question the validity of your version of the events.

Your best recourse when dealing with insurance adjusters after a Kentucky truck accident is to not deal with them at all. If you retain the services of a Louisville truck accident attorney after your accident, your lawyer can (and should) handle all communications with the insurance company. That means the next time the insurance adjuster calls all you have to say is, "I'm sorry, all further communication about this matter must be handled through my attorney", and that's it!
