Dealing with an insurance company requires extreme caution. Letting them know you have been in an accident is okay. Still, you do not want to reveal too much information, as insurance companies will do anything and everything possible to pay you as little as possible. A best practice is letting your attorney do most of the talking with the insurance company. Your lawyer will know the strategies that are often employed by insurance companies, and they can ensure that nothing is said that will hurt your chance to obtain as much compensation as possible.
