After an accident, most people assume the insurance company is there to make things right. In my experience, that's often not how it plays out. Adjusters are trained to minimize what they pay out, not maximize it. They'll offer a quick settlement before you know the full extent of your injuries, hoping you'll take it and move on. They'll ask for a recorded statement and use your own words against you later. None of this makes them the bad guy exactly, it's just the job.
But it's why having someone in your corner who knows how they operate makes a real difference.
