Aggressive Insurance Adjusters & the Need for an Attorney After a San Antonio Car Wreck

Located at the intersection of Interstates 10, 35, and 37, San Antonio, Texas’s ring road is a wonder of modern highway engineering. However, despite its ingenious design, with portions exceeding 300,000 vehicles a day, it is no surprise that accidents can and do regularly happen.

Unfortunately, whether the accident is a minor fender bender or a serious crash involving injured parties, the emotional and financial impact on those involved can exist long after bruises have healed and damages have been repaired. Even worse, you may find yourself in a difficult and drawn-out claims process. If your accident results in an extended struggle against aggressive insurance adjusters, reach out to our Central Texas attorneys at Carabin Shaw to win the compensation you deserve.

No matter the insurance company, making money is their bottom line. Therefore, paying out after your car wreck in Central Texas is not their top priority. Below are a few common responses to look out for as they may be signs that your insurance company does not have your best interests in mind.

Common aggressive tactics to look out for:

• Offers of quick settlement
• Pressuring you to take a settlement
• Lowball settlements
• Asking for recorded statements
• Delaying claims
• Minimization of your damages and injuries
• Suggesting that you don’t need a lawyer

Even if your insurance does not attempt any of these, studies have shown that hiring an attorney results in significantly higher payouts. Our team is ready and able to fight for you every step of the claims process and, if necessary, we have a proven track record in standing up to insurance companies through litigation.

To successfully stand up to insurance giants and their extensive legal counsel, you need to be prepared, to have patience, and to seek the expertise of a legal team. Even if your claims are valid, insurance claim agents are trained to find holes in your case and to reduce payouts. Reach out for a free consultation to learn how our team at Carabin Shaw is prepared to advocate for your rights.

How to fight back:

1. Don’t admit fault: Make no claim to responsibility at the scene of the accident or with either insurance company.
2. Document, document, document: Take photos, request a copy of the police report, gather witness information, and hold on to all the receipts for any and all damages and medical bills.
3. Track lost wages: If your injuries require that you take time off work, keep track of lost income.
4. Seek medical attention immediately (and keep the records)
5. Don’t accept offers: If the other driver or either insurance company makes an offer, do not accept it until you have adequate legal counsel.
6. Hire a San Antonio car accident lawyer: Our team of local attorneys has decades of experience standing up to insurance companies and their aggressive adjusters.
