Stick to the basics of your contact information and when and where the accident occurred. It’s imperative to avoid any statements that could make it appear you aren’t injured or played a role in the cause of the collision. You can ask where to get your car fixed and when they can send you a check. Don’t accept their first offer. The first settlement check the insurance company offers will be a low- ball number; once you’ve signed for it, it’s permanent. Adjusters are trying to keep costs down. Once you accept an offer, you lose the chance to fight for additional funds. Always wait until you have a complete medical diagnosis and talk to a personal injury lawyer before negotiating with the insurance company. Don’t sign a release for medical records. While the insurance company has the right to review relevant records of the accident claim, they often request more information than they need. They will be looking for anything in your entire medical history that they can use to deny your claim. Adjusters want to see if you have any preexisting conditions that can explain away your symptoms. Don’t sign a medical records release until a lawyer reviews it. If you have been injured in an accident, working with a personal injury lawyer is the best pathway to successful recovery. Talk to a lawyer about all the facts of the accident before you ever give a statement to the insurance adjuster. If you have been injured, Barry Trial Practice & Resolution is here to fight for you. Manage your portion sizes. Many fast food joints serve big portions you can split into two meals, so always watch how much food you order. Avoid supersizing your meal and stick to the smallest serving sizes for sides, drinks, and main entrees. Our favorite takeout hack is to check out the kid’s menu. The children- size hamburgers at most restaurants typically contain only 250–300 calories, so you will still get a solid serving of protein with less fat — and save a little money. Skip the add-ons. When you crave fast food, every calorie counts. Say no to add-ons or extras for your meal, like bacon or cheese. Sauces and dressings often have extra calories and sugar, so avoiding them or asking for them on the side is best. If you want condiments on your food, like mayonnaise, ask them to add only a light amount or ask for sauce packets so you can control those extra calories. Some healthy and tasty swaps for flavor are avocado, hummus, or salsa. So, remember these tips to keep your meal delicious and healthier next time you’re in the drive-thru line. You can enjoy a world of flavors without sacrificing your well-being by making mindful choices and small swaps.

After an accident, the insurance company agent or adjuster is one of the first people who will want to speak with you. Adjusters are trained to find every way possible to minimize your claim, even when your case seems like a slam dunk. It’s crucial to keep conversations focused on immediate concerns and avoid sharing facts about your injuries until you speak with a lawyer. Protect yourself by knowing what to say and how your words can be used against you by an insurance adjuster. Be careful what you say. Do not give adjusters detailed information about your injuries, how the accident happened, or anything else they could use against your claim. Insurance Adjusters Want to Pay You Less Here’s How to Stop Them Avoid fried foods. Many of the most popular dishes at fast-food restaurants are battered and fried. Look for items on the menu that are baked, steamed, roasted, or grilled, as they are healthier alternatives. Fried foods are high in calories and trans fat, which could negatively impact your health. Simple swaps like choosing a veggie burger instead of a regular burger with bacon or a baked potato instead of fries can make all the difference.
