What tactics do insurance adjusters use to deny or lowball a claim?

Adjusters commonly move fast with a lowball offer before you’ve finished treatment, push for a recorded statement they can pick apart later, and point to any pre-existing condition as the real cause of your pain instead of the crash. Some simply delay for weeks at a time, betting that financial pressure will make you accept less just to make it stop.

The pattern behind all of it

None of these tactics require the adjuster to lie outright. They just require you to not know what a fair claim actually looks like, which is exactly the gap a good attorney closes.
