The quick answer to "what do I do if the at-fault driver'sinsurance adjusteris calling me?" is to call back if you are able. Be polite, but DON'Tget into the details of your case until you have decided whether or not to hire an auto accidentattorney. Also, know that the adjuster may be taping your conversation; in Maryland, they must get your permission first in order to do this. The adjustermay be calling to exchange information, give you a contact for making your claims, advise you about how to make a claim for your vehicle loss, or other reasons. So, the adjuster could be helpful. Again, however, if you’re going to use an experienced Hagerstown auto accident attorney, you really should speak with the attorney first. Typically, if we have clients hire us in these circ*mstances, we then contact the adjuster for the defendant and relay any information back to the client.
What if the Insurance Adjuster Asks for a Statement?
If the insurance adjuster asks for a statement or your recorded description of what happened, think twice about doing so without an experienced Hagerstown auto accidentattorney to advise you. There are several reasons for this. You might not understand the questions. There might be lack of clarity in your mind or you might be under prescription meds that have your thinking off. You can say something—completely inadvertently—that really messes your case up.
