As a general rule, no. You are under no obligation to give an official statement to the trucking company or their representatives, and you absolutely have the right to consult with an attorney before you say anything to anyone. Representatives for the other side are not out to help you; they are out to preserve the company and the insurance carrier’s bottom line. Anything you say, if it is not carefully thought out, may be used to diminish or deny your claim. Be sure to contact an attorney before you give a statement of any kind.
