8 Arguments Adjustors use to Damage your KY Car Wreck Case

Auto insurance companies use all types of arguments and tactics to avoid paying claims. The following list contains arguments commonly used by insurance adjustors who want to pay you little or nothing for your injuries and other damages.

The insurance company may try to argue that:

1. Your vehicle was the cause of the wreck, due to bald tires, faulty brakes, or tail lights not working.

2. You had “warning of the danger” within enough time to have avoided the accident if only you had been paying attention.

3. You could have avoided the accident if you had not been going “too fast for conditions”.

4. You made an unnecessary and unexpected stop.

5. You made a sudden and unsafe lane change without warning.

6. You gave no “stop” or “turn” signal.

7. There are supposedly no “independent witnesses” who can be found to substantiate your version of what happened.

8. There are supposedly witnesses the insurance company knows about, who dispute your version of the facts or substantiate the wrongdoer’s version.


YOU GET THE PICTURE…AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS MORE!

The Insurance Adjustor considers it their job to seek out and find as many defenses and arguments as possible against you in your case. The Adjustor will question you carefully. It all starts when the Adjustor “Just wants to take your statement”. Do NOT give the insurance company a statement until AFTER you talk to an attorney.
