Should You Talk to the Insurance Adjuster Before a Lawyer?
Thu May 14 2026 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) · 4 min read
The adjuster's job
Insurance adjusters minimize payouts. They may ask for a recorded statement that can be used against you later.
What you can say
Stick to basic facts: date, location, and that you are seeking medical care. Decline to guess about fault or injuries.
When a lawyer helps
If you have medical bills, missed work, or ongoing pain, a contingency-fee personal injury attorney typically costs nothing upfront.
