Navigating an injury claim in Indiana without legal guidance can lead to costly mistakes that reduce your compensation. Insurance adjusters may seem supportive, but their goal is to minimize payouts, often by downplaying your claim’s value or offering low settlements. Common pitfalls include trusting the adjuster’s assessment, accepting low offers, making undervalued demands, not seeking all available insurance coverage, and failing to use expert witnesses when needed.
Hiring an experienced Indiana injury attorney can prevent these mistakes by providing objective evaluation, skilled negotiation, access to expert resources, and peace of mind, allowing you to focus on recovery while they handle the claims process.
