Beware of the Insurance Adjuster: How To Avoid Hurting Your Claim
Whenever you have been injured due to someone else's negligence, whether it's in a car wreck, a slip and fall accident, or a dog attack, if you make a claim you will find yourself dealing with an insurance adjuster from the at-fault person's insurance provider. In Fort Worth dog bite or mauling case, you will be dealing with the dog owner's home insurance company, as that is the policy which would cover them and their pets.
The rules are still the same, however: don't trust the insurance adjuster assigned to your case.
It's critical that you understand that insurance adjusters are professionals. Their job is to minimize the amount of compensation they pay out to personal injury victims and there are very few restrictions on how they can achieve this. You need to be aware that they will try to use your emotions against you. They know that you're distressed and just want to get this horrible episode in your life resolved and behind you as soon as possible. They'll act like they're concerned for you and perhaps they'll even offer you some quick and easy money right then and there. You should not accept this money! More than likely it won't even come close to the full and fair compensation you are entitled to under Texas law, but if you accept it then you agree to waive your rights to any further damages. You must remember that their goal is to close the case and prevent any further losses for their company at any cost. If they manage to pay you off with an insufficient settlement soon after the accident, it just means a bigger bonus for them.
These are well-educated, well-trained professionals. They are not your friends. They are not there to help you. Their only job is to protect their bosses' profits at all costs.
