Dealing with insurance companies without legal representation is very risky. For starters, insurance adjusters are skilled at minimizing payouts. They will employ different tactics to undermine your claim. These tactics include downplaying the severity of your injuries, disputing liability, or even rushing you into accepting a lowball offer before you fully understand the extent of your damages.  

Secondly, these companies have access to defense attorneys to protect their interests. If they realize the importance of obtaining legal representation, so should you.
