7 Mistakes to Avoid When the Car-Accident Adjuster Calls - Samantha Kucher

From Kucher Law Group – 7 Mistakes to Avoid When the Car‑Accident Adjuster Calls explores the common missteps people make when dealing with insurance adjusters after a car accident, and how to guard against them. The article is posted by Kucher Law Group on September 11, 2025, by their Brooklyn personal injury attorneys.

In the first part, the podcast dives into understanding the role of the insurance adjuster — that while they may seem helpful, their real job is to protect the insurer’s financial interests, not yours. The discussion then moves into why giving a recorded statement without legal advice can lead to mistakes, showing how what you say early on can be used against you, especially with inconsistencies or misinterpreted admissions.

Next, the description will cover mistakes around admitting fault or speculating about what happened, how even well‑meaning comments can be twisted later. Then, also discussed are errors like discussing injuries before seeing a doctor, because symptoms might appear later, and early statements like “I’m fine” can undermine your claim. The episode also talks about accepting the first settlement offer — why these tend to be unfair or incomplete, and how having an attorney evaluate the offer can protect you.

Finally, the podcast wraps up by explaining why you should avoid providing too much personal or financial information and the risks of handling the adjuster’s call without legal representation. Legal guidance early can help prevent costly errors, manage negotiations, and ensure your rights are protected. The episode draws on the experience of Samantha Kucher, Esq., Michael Roitman, Esq., and Alex Rybakov, Esq. from Kucher Law Group in Brooklyn.
