Insurance adjusters may approach you after your car accident, claiming they need a recorded statement to process your injury claim. However, giving a recorded statement can turn out to be a mistake. Adjusters may get you to say something that could later be used against you. It is important to note that you are not required, by law, to provide a recorded statement to an insurance company. Therefore, it will generally be in your best interest to refuse a recorded statement until you have considered consulting with a lawyer.
