Your Pawtucket Automobile Accident: Negotiating the Insurance Settlement

If you suffer injuries in an automobile accident in Pawtucket and want to make a claim with the negligent driver's insurance company for either property damage to your vehicle, bodily injury, or both, you must provide detailed documentation in order to negotiate a settlement.

In most cases, the insurance adjuster makes the first move and offers you a settlement amount. However, keep in mind that the job of the adjuster is to negotiate the best deal for the insurance company. He or she does not have your interests at heart and will try to settle any claims for the lowest possible amount.

If you have done your upfront research, you should have a good understanding of what you could reasonably expect to receive. However, most Pawtucket automobile accident victims have a tendency to underestimate the dollar amount for property damages and bodily injury. Insurance companies know this. That is why they would like nothing more than to negotiate with you directly.
On the other hand, you could be one of the few who actually has an accurate idea of the expenses involved. Yet, you will most likely end up engaging in back and forth negotiations with the adjuster on a settlement. In the end, when the adjuster gets to the top of his range, there will be no further offers. Under the circumstances, what do you do?
