A common insurance claims adjuster tactic is to threaten to withdraw his offers if you do not accept the current settlement. This is often a bluff that is meant to create the illusion that your case value is time-sensitive‚ but this is rarely the case. Your medical bills are not just going to disappear‚ nor will you regain the wages you lost while you were out of work recovering. A case worth $25,000 will continue to be worth $25,000 in the future. Don’t let the insurance claims adjuster convince you otherwise.

In fact‚ their employers often evaluate them based on these very criteria. If you have an experienced San Diego personal injury attorney on your side‚ he may even be able use this fact to your advantage and use the threat of a lawsuit to force the adjuster to drop his bluff.
