The days following an accident can be stressful and traumatic, and you may not know where to turn and the next steps to take as far as righting wrongs due to someone else’s negligence is concerned. Whether you slipped and fell inside or outside a store, were in a car accident due to someone else’s negligent actions, suffered injuries and complications during a routine procedure in a hospital, you may receive a phone call by a seemingly concerned insurance company representative who will proceed to ask you questions about the accident, injuries, your current state and even going as far as telling you that they may be able to pay for your medical bills as long as you electronically sign a document they email you or FedEx to you within 24 hours, or even the same day. While their actions may seem well-meaning, it is in your best interests to not do anything, admit to anything or sign to anything until you consult with our best injury attorneys at McCready Law for reasons we’ll take a look at in this post.

The Insurance Industry Is Not on Your Side

It is first and foremost important to understand that the insurance company is a trillion-dollar industry, and that it is cutthroat and cares only about its bottom line. To this end, do not expect a money-hungry industry such as this one to care about the well-being of an injured individual, however convincing they may seem.

Politeness and cooperation may seem like the right and natural thing to do during these instances, but we have to warn you that your actions to the affirmative may give the insurance company ammunition they may use against you, effectively invalidating your claim or lowering its value to an amount that is untenable and always unethical. At McCready Law, we’ve dealt with insurance company tens of thousands of times and know all their tricks and strategies, and we’d like to pull the curtain and expose their underhanded tactics, so your right to compensation can be rightfully preserved – read on to find out more.

Over the decades, we’ve been able to recover over $260 million and counting for our clients, with many of these settlements or judgments running into the hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars for catastrophic injuries. The secret to our massive legal success lies in a number of factors such as personally handling all claims as tenured attorneys and not shunting them over to inexperienced and unskilled legal assistants or paralegals as is often seen in most law firms.

Additionally, we engage the best experts to help build an impenetrable claim such as award-winning physicians, world renowned forensic investigators and so on, and we are not afraid to litigate if the client’s injuries are so catastrophic they may not be able to go back to work or may require long term care – litigating a claim while difficult and requiring a substantial amount of resources, usually results in the maximum compensation allowable by law.

In addition to having nationwide reach thanks to our vast network of trusted referral attorneys and law firms, we also run a bilingual firm (hablamos Español), and we take on all cases on contingency fee basis, which simply means that there are ZERO UPFRONT FEES for the duration of the processing of your claim, as we only levy our fees at the end of the suit, and only if we’ve recovered compensation on your behalf.

Why Would an Insurance Adjuster Call You Shortly After an Accident?

It is important to note that insurance companies are first and foremost for-profit companies. This means that they will do anything in their power to keep costs low so that they realize massive profits and growth from year to year. To this end, they will be calling you to glean any information you provide which could potentially reduce the value of your claim or discredit and disqualify it altogether. The questions they ask you from the face-to-face meeting or phone call or even email are designed to extract statements which can be used to prove you were partly to blame, your injuries aren’t as severe as your claim, or the prospective defendant’s actions were not the proximate cause of the accident.

What Information Can I Provide if the Insurance Adjuster Calls After my Accident?

Here’s some basic information you can provide an insurance adjuster without jeopardizing your potential claim:

1. Your basic identifying information such as your name, address and contact information
2. The date, time and general location of the accident
3. The type of incident whether it was a slip and fall, sports-related concussion or semi-trailer accident

Warning About Insurance Company and Personal Injury Claims

Refrain from providing any information outside of these facts to preserve your case’s validity. Additionally, do not apologize in any way shape or form, stating that you should have been looking where you were going or should have been more careful, do not downplay your injuries, do not speculate about the cause of the accident, and positively do NOT give a recorded statement about the accident until you speak with us.
