After a personal injury accident in Tacoma or anywhere in Washington, it is common for an insurance adjuster to contact you quickly. They may sound helpful and concerned about your situation. However, their primary responsibility is protecting the insurance company’s financial interests, not yours.
Insurance companies often move fast to limit what they pay on injury claims. This is especially true when injuries are serious or medical expenses are significant. Their tactics may also involve shifting blame under Washington’s comparative fault laws to reduce the value of your claim. Common strategies include:
Accepting an early settlement can have lasting consequences. Once a settlement is finalized, you typically cannot seek additional compensation, even if your condition worsens or new medical needs arise.
