Where the agent would get involved, and where I would get involved, is through that process, if they have questions, and maybe they don't feel comfortable with the adjuster they've been given, they may want to call me and ask me, “Hey, does this sound right?” I'll use one example where I had a client who had a claim, and the insurance company offered them x amount for their vehicle. My client did his research and says, “You know what, that's not what the value of my vehicle is. It's a few thousand dollars more than that.” As he called and talked to me about that, he says, “Great, let's get that information, and let's go to the adjuster together and present it and see if they'll re-evaluate what they've done with you.” We did that. Sure enough, as long as you provide information to the contrary of what they've presented, they'll look at it.
