Misleading Adjuster Claims Guide

Adjusters often give statements that pressure you, confuse you, or steer you toward a cheaper claim outcome. This guide exposes the most common misleading claims and shows how EstiVerify helps you cut through the noise and protect your payout.

Common Misleading Adjuster Statements

You have to use our preferred shop

This is one of the most common misleading statements. You can take your car anywhere.

EstiVerify helps you understand your rights and review the estimate from any shop.

We will not guarantee repairs if you choose your own shop

They are trying to scare you into using a network shop. They still owe for proper repairs.

EstiVerify checks whether repair operations match manufacturer procedures.

Other shops overcharge and inflate repairs

This is used to discredit any estimate that does not match their internal budget.

EstiVerify identifies which operations are required and which are not.

We cannot approve those repairs because the shop marked them wrong

This pushes blame onto the shop to justify a lower payout.

EstiVerify reviews the repair logic line by line.

Your shop is adding things you do not need

This discourages supplements and limits payout.

EstiVerify determines if the shop is right about related damage.

That damage could not have come from this accident

They often make this claim without reviewing teardown evidence.

EstiVerify verifies damage patterns against the crash.

The force of the crash was too low to cause that damage

This is a frequent tactic to deny structural or mechanical repairs.

EstiVerify checks structural impact indicators.

This looks like wear and tear to me

Insurers often label crash damage as age related to avoid paying for key components.

EstiVerify separates real wear from impact damage.

We are only paying for what we can see in the photos

This is how insurers routinely underpay initial estimates.

EstiVerify identifies hidden damage that must be added in supplements.

We will not pay for that because it does not match the impact

They often say this when they do not want to include high dollar repairs.

EstiVerify uses collision logic to show relatedness.

If you do not agree soon, the claim may be delayed

This is meant to rush you into accepting a low payout.

EstiVerify gives you data to respond without stress.

Approving this supplement will take weeks

This discourages shops and customers from pushing back.

EstiVerify documents missing operations clearly.

We already sent the final estimate

There is no such thing as a final estimate until the car is repaired.

EstiVerify identifies what still needs to be added.

We do not owe for rental beyond this date

Rental pressure is used to force quick acceptance.

EstiVerify shows whether repair delays are caused by incomplete estimates.

We cannot move forward until you agree to this number

This tactic limits your chance to challenge the estimate.

EstiVerify provides the breakdown needed to dispute the number.

OEM parts are not necessary for your repair

They avoid OEM parts because they cost more.

EstiVerify shows where OEM is required by procedure.

You do not need that safety calibration

Calibrations are often skipped to save money.

EstiVerify identifies all required safety checks.

We do not cover that structural repair

Structural repairs are expensive and often rejected first.

EstiVerify confirms proper structural procedures.

We do not owe for blend because your paint is fine

This is misleading. Blending is required to match color.

EstiVerify checks the refinishing requirements.

We do not pay for teardown unless we approve repairs

This is false in many cases. Teardown is part of diagnosing damage.

EstiVerify explains when teardown is owed.

You have to give a recorded statement

This is rarely required. It is used to trap you into statements that lower liability.

EstiVerify provides guidance on how to respond.

If you do not answer now we will close your claim

This is pressure, not policy.

EstiVerify helps you stay calm and informed.

You cannot talk to the shop until we are done

This is false. You always control your repair.

EstiVerify keeps you in control of the process.

You do not need to worry about the details

This is how underpayments get buried in the estimate.

EstiVerify breaks down every line for you.

We will take care of everything for you

This makes you believe they are on your side. They are not.

EstiVerify shows the actual financial impact of their choices.

How EstiVerify cuts through confusion

We identify missing, denied, or manipulated repair items and provide the breakdown needed to challenge the estimate.

How EstiVerify identifies dangerous shortcuts

We check for safety calibrations, structural procedures, and OEM requirements the insurer may have skipped.

How EstiVerify shows the money you are losing

We calculate the dollar value of all missing operations and provide a clear summary.

How EstiVerify supports you with the shop and insurer

We provide simple explanations and evidence so you can push back confidently.

How EstiVerify strengthens your supplement request

We provide a clean, organized supplement map showing what is required and why.
