Truck Accident Recorded Statement

Answer:

We’re often asked by people whether they should give a recorded statement when they’ve been involved in a wreck involving a commercial vehicle. The answer to this question is no. Don’t ever give a recorded statement to an insurance company, especially when you don’t have a lawyer present. While people may think they are helping their case by doing this, in fact, the exact opposite is true. Insurance companies utilize trained insurance adjusters and examiners who know how to ask questions in a way that will lead to vague answers that will hurt your claim later on. There’s no reason to give these statements. It’s not required, and there’s nothing positive that can be gained from it from the perspective of the injured party. If you’re ever asked to give one of these statements and you don’t have an attorney, make sure you don’t give that statement. Hire an attorney immediately.
