2. The insurance
adjuster has offered to settle and s/he said I don’t need a
lawyer. Is this true?
Not necessarily. It is in your best interest at least to get a free initial consultation from a lawyer to find out if the adjuster’s offer is a fair one. Remember, the adjuster works for the insurance company, whose goal is to minimize the payout to you. A lawyer will work for you to maximize the compensation you receive for your damages.
