Why Texas City Crash Victims Should NOT Trust the Insurance Company

After suffering injuries and property damage in a Texas City car or truck wreck, you’ll eventually have to deal with the insurance company adjuster. Now, this person is probably going to start out being pretty friendly with you, acting concerned about your injuries and seeming like they want to help.

Texas City Accident Victims: don’t trust the insurance company adjuster!

We say it all over our website and we just can’t say it enough:

• The insurance company is NOT on your side
• You are not in good hands with the insurance company

Why? Why can’t you trust them? Aren’t they just trying to get you the compensation you need after a wreck, and get your car fixed so you can drive again?

Here’s the deal: insurance companies are a business – a FOR PROFIT business. There is nothing wrong with making money – it is something we all need to do – but many of these auto insurance companies are in the business of maximizing value for their shareholders. Translation? They need to make a BIG profit to keep their owners happy.

What does this mean if you’ve been in a Texas City auto accident?

After a crash, the insurance adjuster will rush to contact you, to get all the details about your Texas City accident. They’ll be very nice and sympathetic, and they may ask you for a recorded statement or any other information they can get about what happened. Are they doing this for your benefit? NO. They are hoping you’ll tell them some important little detail that they can then use against you to deny, delay, or minimize compensation.

I know it sounds like we are over-dramatizing what happens, but we have seen this time and time again in serious accident cases in Texas City and elsewhere in Galveston County and across Texas. We wish we could tell every car crash victim to be careful what they say or do for the insurance company after a bad car crash.
