Many people think the first thing they should do after an accident is a give a statement to both insurance companies. Additionally, unscrupulous insurance adjuster will make it sound like you do not have a choice about whether to give a statement after an accident…YOU DO!
Don’t Fall for Their Tricks:
Generally, we advise not to give a statement to your own insurance company or another driver’s insurance company without first speaking with a personal injury lawyer.
This is because many times the insurance adjuster will pressure to say things like your injuries “aren’t that bad” on a recorded line so that they can later pressure you into settling your claim for pennies on the dollar.
If you have been in a car accident, bicycle accident, or motorcycle accident, consider speaking with a personal injury attorney before giving a recorded statement to either of the insurance companies.
