After an accident, it is not uncommon for insurers to use uncooperative tactics through adjusters to minimize claim payouts. However, understanding these questionable practices and your rights helps when seeking fair compensation. A Texas lawyer can help make sure you are not taken advantage of by insurance adjusters.
Spotting Adjuster Stall and Delay Tactics
Beware of adjusters utilizing stall tactics that should raise red flags, including:
- Failing to properly handle or assign your claim for many weeks or months
- Repeatedly missing scheduled phone calls and appointment times
- Claiming to have lost or never received documents and records you already provided
