Your claim is probably one of several hundred the adjuster has on the plate. Don’t make the mistake of believing they care about your situation. If the adjuster is going out of his or her way to be helpful to you- that is a signal they may be worried about the amount of your claim.

bigstock-Two-Car-Crash-1522381-300x240Most drivers believe they can make it by with just the minimum required coverage.
