Is the Insurance Company Really Your Friend?
If you watch enough advertisements, you may be left with the notion that insurance companies are your best friends in times of crisis. They all say they want to protect you and save you money. The truth is that insurance providers are highly profitable corporations that have it in their best interests to protect their bottom line. To remain profitable and to keep their board members happy, insurance companies train their adjusters to deny personal injury accident claims. They simply have more to gain from denying your claim or by low-balling you.
If you have been involved in an Oklahoma car accident, there are a number of ways in which you can protect yourself when dealing with an insurance company. Before you even call an insurance provider, make sure you have all of the crash details in front of you. Every time you deal with an insurance company, you should reference the same information. If you contradict yourself, it can be used against you. When you do call an insurance company, make a request that they do not record the conversation. You have nothing to gain by having your call recorded, but they can use the recording to their advantage.
