What Not to Say to Insurance Adjuster after Truck Accident in Maryland

If you have been injured in a commercial truck accident in Maryland, the trucking company has probably already begun a rigorous investigation process into you and your lifestyle. An Annapolis, Maryland, personal injury lawyer could help you fight against their underhanded tactics. 

Trucking companies and the insurance providers who represent them realize that they have a lot to lose in the event of a successful claim, and Maryland's contributory negligence laws encourage trucking companies to do anything they can to assign fault to accident victims in an attempt to remove financial responsibility from themselves.

Some things you should never say if you are contacted by the other company's insurance adjuster: 

• "I'm not sure, but I think..." - if you're not sure, don't say it!
• "I haven't spoken with my attorney, but..." - you shouldn't even be speaking with the adjuster if you haven't yet talked to your Annapolis, Maryland, personal injury lawyer.
• "I'll accept the offer." - adjusters are trained to only give one offer in a given conversation, but you don't have to accept it. Talk with your lawyer first.
• "In my opinion..." - don't offer your opinion. Stay with the facts. If you don't know the facts, then don't say anything. 

If you've been hurt in a truck accident in Maryland, contact a lawyer who can help.
