The at-fault driver’s insurance company may contact you and could even ask you for a recorded statement. They might even tell you that you are required to provide a recorded statement, or your claim will not be processed. This is simply not true. You have no obligation to provide the other driver’s insurance company with a statement, and certainly you should never agree to a recorded statement without first speaking to your car accident attorney.
When you give a recorded statement, that statement could be taken out of context and used against you during the claims process. Insurance companies are constantly on the lookout for ways to avoid paying claims and asking for a recorded statement is a part of that. The insurance company will look for any inconsistency in your statements as a reason to deny your claim, so simply refer them to your Lauriston Law Firm auto accident lawyer.
