The initial phone call made me feel as though they really cared. They made us feel like a number, and Murphy & Associates didn't. My wife and I have never gone through something like this before and accidents can be devastating to a family because of loss of income, pain and suffering.

Should I accept the insurance adjusters offer for a quick settlement for the property damage portion of my car accident claim? Murphy Associates Law Firm in Douglasville, GA

A: It is pretty common for an insurance adjuster to inspect the damages to a car, and then use a laptop to quickly calculate how much the insurance company believes it will cost to get the car fixed. Then, the adjuster will offer that amount to the car owner on the spot, giving them a signed check ready to cash. Quick cash sounds really good in theory, but before you accept any offers, get a good estimate first and see if you can’t negotiate with adjuster.

Many people take the check and cash it, only to find out later that the repair work for the damaged car is actually a lot more expensive than the amount of money they received. Then the car owner has to pay the difference in order to get their car repaired.

Taking the check and cashing it finalizes the settlement agreement between you and the insurance company. Remember, ff the amount does not cover 100% of the costs to repair your vehicle, then the rest of it comes out of the car owner’s pocket. It’s easy to see why the insurance company wants to settle your claim quickly, because if they settle it quickly, they settle for less money.
