    I'll tell you what insurance companies hate. Me pressing a $95 uninsured motorist claim. The adjustor said "It's a commercial vehicle. It has insurance." After a blank lookup from the DOT and no response from the sheriff, I said "prove it."
    The truck had no insurance.

    Not been an adjuster myself but have worked in a kind of similar role. I always had many "clients" I was working and negotiating with at any one time and typically had a kind of ball-park target that was worked out by a pretty complex calculation based on many factors of the many cases. It was common to gauge each client in order to try to fit the target to them all in a kind of blanket. In doing this, if a client came off as "above average" in their level of knowledge, nuisance and negotiation skill, I would typically move them more to the center of the distribution curve, whereas less savvy clients were moved towards the edges. The purpose of this was to try to get a low-ball figure that was most likely to be accepted (or minimally negotiated) early on. The real cost of such things is not necessarily the final payout, it's the time and effort that goes into arriving at that payout, the shorter time that takes, the better. By asking these questions, you establish yourself as someone that will be immediately placed at the higher end of the distribution and as someone they'll want to deal with quickly.

      My car was totalled out this month and i did not have the information to negotiate. They worked with me on the email and sent the money directly. I have not agreed totally. Is there a way i can still say them that my car is worth more ? I signed the title and sent in email.

      I have found insurance adjusters to professionals who take pride in their work. However, they are incentivized to pay out as little as possible on claims and it is proven that unrepresented and uninformed claimants are paid significantly less for their claims compared to having a knowledgeable representative working on their behalf.

  • @stephenwalton7079
    @stephenwalton7079 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The insurance company will first send out a junior adjuster to,”Swoop and settle.” Low ball offer with pretense of being your best offer. It’s amusing to see how they deflect questions as to additional costs and medical bills not yet tendered. They will throw in a time pressure and tell you their boss already said the deal they are offering is too generous but they’re doing you a favor. This initial offering may not actually cover your direct costs. Be nice but show them the door. Then go find a law firm that handles these case, hopefully without a mega ad budget and flashy billboards. You’ll find that their fee is regulated by the state hand in hand with the bar association. It’s just the way it is. You can ask for a lower fee schedule but you won’t get it. What you will get is a much higher payout to you offer when they send their first demand letter. The second demand letter will get closer to the policy limits. The best offer comes when the suit is actually filed. The law firm’s fees go up with the court appearance so listen to them when they give an assessment of your chances in court and attendant expenses.
    Also get a briefing on the realistic chances of recovery. If the offender is underinsured, there is rarely a way forward beyond the policy limits. Uninsured motorist coverage can be vital in pursuit of pain and suffering claims in some states and in some places, the injury must be permanent to warrant an award.
    While the bottom line in the video is don’t piss off the adjuster, I’d say, be polite and don’t deal with the adjuster in the first place. The insurance company wants a settlement and the case off their books in a fairly short period of time. They will pay an extra margin to do just that.

    1. Is it worth filing a bad faith claim ( law suit) against an adjustor/ insurance company for an extra $7000 on a vehicle?
    2. I'm in PA which is a limited tort state. I've had some injuries to my head & neck and need PT for 4 to 6 weeks; concussion, mild to severe brain trauma, favet jount & disk damage ( lost my ability to formulas words the first day and had left side jerking), neck pain, now frequently loss of memory.
    I have two adjustors; a medical and a auto if I accept a check from the auto adjustor ( which I doubt we'll ever reach an agreement) does that mean I'm also settling on the medical ?
    3. Can I file a bad faith claim on my own against an auto adjustor and would i have a chance or would their attorney run me over?

    Does an apraiser have to physically look at your car to totally it out or can he do this by photographs ?
    The auto adjustor I'm dealing with from Liberty Mutual told me she was going to have my car picked up from my house and taken to a " stagging area" . I questioned this and asked several times for her to have the appraiser come to my house by she ignored me, I found out later she had it towed to a major online Auction house by the name of Copart.
    After her lowballing me twice and lowering hwr first offer and weeks of stalling ( emailing late fridays after all week of silence) I called the Auction house and asked if they keep a log book and was told yes, anyone who looks at my car has to sign it and was told no body had come out to access / appraiser my vehicle.

    A friend told me to take it to civil court. But I do not know how to fill out these papers. Is there any possible way that you can guide me or direct me how to do it? Thank you so much. Have a blessed day.

    Question 2 was great.
    If you don't have Rental Coverage your policy won't pay it unless, possibly, the other carrier confirms their Insured is at fault. That takes weeks though and you'll be screwed by then. Probably better off going through the at fault drivers Insurance Company immediately and hope for the best. If it's "he said she said" you won't be getting a rental if you don't have it.
    Asking about reserves is stupid and has absolutely no benefit and won't be revealed. Trying intimidation tactics like "Policy Knowledge" will be seen through immediately and will annoy your Adjuster.
    Asking how long they've been an adjuster is stupid and won't be revealed. Also, that too, will annoy them with no benefit to your claim.
    Asking if a manager has "overridden" a previous evaluation is, again, annoying and stupid and will have no tangible benefit to the claims process. This will not be revealed but the answer is yes and it's common. Adjusters and their Managers are peers and work together constantly.
    But the best thing said was the last segment "Don't piss off the Adjuster".
    Ignore everything else and take that to heart!

      Diminished value (DV) can be a factor. It depends on how much it cost to repair a vehicle though for DV to be part of the conversation. Generally speaking, damages of less than $10,000 won't get added value on a DV claim. $10,000 and up will be a reason to make the claim.

Insurance company may be a faulty repair part installed during repairs may cause an accident liability lawsuit to my insurance company.
    I need it repaired because I have an irreplaceable feature, free supercharging for life. Over 20 years and fact I use car for biz that requires a lot of driving it is irreplaceable. Does any of this matter in 2024 ? How do I document this free unlimited supercharging for charging for life value and negotiate repairs over total loss ?
    My agent says they only use a vin number and what the that vin number says the car is worth and nothing else.
    I also don’t know if I have an arbitration clause. How do I get a copy of the complete contract I am bound under, is it the declaration page or other ?
    Also where can I find a lawyer who is good at contract law and take the case ? Nobody was hurt and so no big medical claim payout just a couple thousand for contract review, letters and negotiate to get my car repaired not totaled !

      Oooff, that’s a bad day, @nashweekly. A lot of things need to be sorted out to answer that question. Was the other person 100% at fault or did your actions play a part in the crash. Does the other driver have insurance? Do you have insurance? Have you been getting regular and consistent medical treatment and following the recommended medical treatment. At the end of the day, you can only get as much as there is by way of insurance coverage, also known as policy limits. Whether you have a policy limits case depends on the factors mentioned above.
