While you can, we don’t always recommend it following a serious accident.

The insurance adjuster is calling to get you to make statements (usually it is a recorded call) about the events leading up to and including the accident.

They will also ask you about your injuries and whether you went to a hospital or a doctor following the accident.

While it may seem innocent enough, the problem with talking to an insurance adjuster after a serious accident is that the adjuster is actually probing and looking for ways to minimize their liability, either through putting blame on you or through finding ways to blame your injuries on a prior problem or finding out that you’ve been seeing a doctor for a similar complaint before.  They can then use your statement against you at a later time should you bring a lawsuit against the driver or owner of the other car invovled in your accident.

If an insurance adjuster calls to talk to you, tell them you’ll be happy to speak to them, after you speak with your attorney.

What Our Clients Say

hired Mr. Traub following a motor vehicle accident in which a driver ran a red light and t-boned and totaled my car. I was injured in several places, one of which was a significant concussion which rendered me unable to think clearly or deal with the stress of wrangling insurance companies and all the other mountains of details that must be dealt with in situations like these. From the beginning, he was caring first and foremost. He was patient with my repeated questions (my concussion left me unable to hang onto details, for about a month I'd have to ask and re-ask even the simplest of things). He took my case and got started right away. Thanks to working with him I was able to have access and referrals to medical care that would have been difficult for me to attain otherwise, as I am self-employed and without health insurance. I felt the wonderful feeling of peace of mind knowing that someone was in charge and on my case, being a very strong advocate for me, my recovery, and my well-being going forward. I know having that kind of trust was an asset in my being able to focus all my attention and energy on getting back to myself and my routines. I always had prompt responses to emails or phone calls, and to address the earlier comment that expressed having a negative experience in communicating, any "cross-examining" I experienced-- and it was only one conversation-- was only about trying to get all the information straight and clear for the purpose of keeping things on task, up to date and 100% accurate for my case. It was one conversation, and it was quickly and easily resolved. And it was all because he had my back. I would highly and enthusiastically recommend hiring him when in need.
