If you've been hurt in an accident, or even think you may have been hurt, here are the nine most important things you need to know part 2 4-6:
4. Contrary to the way that he or she may act, the insurance company adjuster is not your friend. He or she has one ultimate goal: to convince you to settle your case for as little as possible, and often for much less than it's worth. Don't be fooled.
5. You may be entitled to a number of different types of monetary damages under Texas law. If you don't know how each one may apply to your case, find someone to help you who does know. The seven most common types of damages are:
-Medical expenses
-Loss of earnings
-Pain and suffering
-Loss of consortium
-Permanent impairment
-Disfigurement
-Damage to your vehicle
6. You have to be extremely careful what you say to the insurance company - for example, how you describe the accident or your injuries. They will try to use everything you say against you. Even an offhand remark or side comment can potentially lead to a dramatic decrease in the settlement offered to you on a claim.
