Dealing With Insurance Adjusters After a Michigan Accident
The adjuster is not on your side. Here is how to protect your claim in those early conversations.
The Adjuster's Job
An insurance adjuster's goal is to resolve your claim for as little as possible. Friendly does not mean fair, and early offers are usually low.
Mistakes That Hurt Your Claim
Giving a recorded statement, speculating about fault, posting on social media, or accepting a quick check can all reduce what you recover.
Leveling the Playing Field
An attorney handles communications and prevents these mistakes. Michigan follows modified comparative negligence: your damages are reduced by your share of fault, and being more than 50% at fault bars recovery of noneconomic damages. Protecting your words protects your claim.
