Another tactic used by adjusters is to avoid admitting fault. They may try to blame the homeowner for the damage or suggest

Adjusters may also record statements made by homeowners during the claims process. These statements can be used against homeowners later on if the adjuster decides to deny the claim

Adjusters may request unnecessary medical records from claimants, even if the claim has nothing to do with medical issues.

Adjusters may pressure homeowners to accept the first offer they make. Homeowners should never accept the first offer without consulting with an attorney or public adjuster.
