Do I need a lawyer if the insurance adjuster is friendly and cooperative?

Yes. An attorney represents you. Adjusters represent insurance companies. The sole purpose of the adjuster is to maintain the company’s profitable bottom line. As such, the directive is to pay you as little as possible, as fast as possible, maybe even before you know the full nature and extent of your personal injuries.

A good adjuster is often pleasant and will try to make you comfortable so you’ll talk about the incident without reservation. Insurance adjusters are skilled in getting victims without lawyers to say or do things that could harm their cases, including settling claims for far less than they’re worth.  

A Lawyer Protects You After a Personal Injury

When you hire a personal injury lawyer to represent you, it becomes his job to advocate for your full and fair recovery. He’s skilled in winning cases like yours, knows what you may be entitled to pursuant to the law, and understands how to value your damages.

Your lawyer is most effective before you start negotiations with the insurance company. He can help prevent problems because once the insurance adjuster knows you’re represented by counsel, the representative should stop talking to you directly and instead, direct all communication to your attorney.

James ames from samples and ames was the best lawyer ever he communicated with Me and always kept me in the situation. He proved time and time again how great of a lawyer he is and did everything it took to make sure I got what I deserved. He made everything so much easier and less stressful and I am so thankful I found him. Hands down couldn't have found a better lawyer to represent me

Working with James Ames for my personal injury case was a great experience. I had some outstanding personal debt that delayed the process a long time, but Linda and James went above and beyond to help me get everything taken care of so my case could be settled. Very happy with the work they did and I will recommend them to anyone who may need their services. Thanks James!
