Frequently I’m asked, should I talk to the adjuster myself? The short answer is no. Hi, my name is Jeff Diamond and I’m a personal injury attorney in Central Florida. I work with the firm of Burnetti, PA.

A lot of times, adjusters will try to resolve a claim very quickly. What they want to do is minimize damages. They’re looking to basically get rid of you, and they want to get rid of you as cheaply as possible.

They don’t really want to pay for all your damages. They want to minimize your damages.

So the answer is no. Do not talk to an adjuster by yourself. You want to retain an attorney. At least consult with an attorney.

It may end up in the end that you do talk to an adjuster by yourself, but at least talk to an attorney first. If you or someone else that you know has been injured by someone else’s carelessness, consult an attorney as quickly as possible so you know your rights. Please call one-eight hundred BURNETTI. Thank you for watching.
