When it comes to negotiating a settlement for a personal injury claim, it's important to be prepared and know how to best position your case. Don't be tempted to accept the first offer from the adjuster, as it may not be enough to cover your expenses. Instead, you should ask the adjuster to justify any low offers and learn more about how to negotiate your claim. To ensure that the negotiation process goes smoothly, it's important to document all property damage and medical expenses as much as possible.
This will give you a better chance of having your complaint resolved. In some cases, if your vehicle is damaged again after you have already been paid the full value of your vehicle, the claim payment may be reduced. If the adjuster is being difficult, you can force them to sit down and discuss their differences, either in person or on the phone. You can also call on the property owner and their agent to attend a conference call from the agent's office with the adjuster on speakerphone.
The agent can help facilitate the negotiation if they believe that the policyholder may be exposed to a lien from a mechanic due to an unjustified refusal to negotiate.
