How to Negotiate an Injury Claim with Liberty Mutual Insurance

Consider These Important Factors

The settlement offer made by your Liberty Mutual claims adjuster may be too low to adequately compensate you for your losses. You may be able to secure a higher settlement amount if you do the following:

Document Everything

Taking pictures of the accident scene and your injuries as soon as you can after the incident can help you during the negotiation process. By the time your adjuster views your car or visits you, injuries may have begun to heal and the car may have been cleaned up a bit. By taking pictures and showing them to the adjuster, you may be able to convince the adjuster his or her initial settlement amounts were not adequate given the severity of the car crash.

Appear Resolved and Tenacious

Trials are expensive for all parties involved, including insurance companies. Liberty Mutual Insurance does not want a claim to go to trial, especially if the claim is valid and the injured party (you) are likely to win. By insisting on fair and full compensation and showing that you are not willing to settle your claim for less than you need, you make it more likely that your negotiations with your adjuster will end favorably for you.

Determine a Minimum Settlement Figure

You cannot negotiate in any matter if you do not know what you need and what you are willing to part with. Before you even begin the negotiation process, take some time and tally up the costs of your car accident--medical expenses, lost wages, damage to your car, pain and suffering--and use these to arrive at a settlement figure. Know what you are willing to compromise on but do not compromise on those expenses and losses that are legitimate and certain.
