Tag: Insurance Adjuster

In Alberta, an insurance adjuster who is assigned to an auto insurance claim resulting from a motor vehicle accident (MVA) will investigate the details of a collision, determine liability, and assess the value of the damage and injuries. Often, it is the insurance adjuster who determines the at fault driver. You need to be aware that they work for the insurance company and aim to settle the claim as favorably as possible for the company. The insurance adjuster is often trying to reduce your injury claim to be as minimal as possible. It is imperative that you connect with your Edmonton personal injury law firm to be on your side and settle the claim in a fair manner. If you’re unsure how to proceed with your claim, you can contact your insurer, visit the Alberta government website for information on automobile collisions and insurance, or seek advice from Moustarah & Company today.
