5 Tips for Dealing with Insurance Adjusters During a Maryland Personal Injury Claim

You should be extremely cautious when dealing with insurance adjusters in order to protect your Maryland personal injury claim. Since Maryland is a strict contributory negligence state, insurance adjusters will try many tactics to get you to share responsibility for your accident and injuries.

As long as you are partially responsible for the accident, you will not be entitled to compensation in a Maryland personal injury claim.

To protect your claim when dealing with insurance adjusters you must do the following:
 

  • If your policy requires you to give a recorded statement, speak with your injury attorney in Annapolis, Maryland, before giving a statement - otherwise, don't give a statement.
  • Do not allow the insurance adjuster access to your medical history -- he or she might try to blame a pre-existing condition for your injuries.
  • Discuss only facts, such as the place, time and date of your Maryland accident - make no guesses or estimations.
  • Give only general information about your injuries - and don't provide the adjuster with contact information for any of your healthcare providers.
  • Do not identify any witnesses. 


Your injury attorney in Annapolis, Maryland, is well aware of how insurance adjusters will try to harm your case. To level the playing field, you should consult with an attorney as soon after your accident as possible.
