INSURANCE COMPANIES AND YOUR INJURY
In most serious injury cases, the insurance company of the at-fault motorist will send out an appraiser to assess the damages and determine a value for those damages.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to remember that these investigators are NOT there to look after your interests but those of the insurance company. As highly skilled workers in their field, they are trained to obtain information from car accident victims when they are most vulnerable.
Our personal injury attorneys in Los Angeles are aware of the tricks and tactics that appraisers will use and can warn you in advance along with providing ways for you to handle their questions. Quite often, we will simply ask that all questions be referred to your legal team so that we can deal with them directly.
