The other driver’s insurance company may contact you for many reasons. It is important to remember that they are looking to minimize the amount that they have to pay you for the damage their client inflicted.
Often, insurance companies will make calls to fish for conflicting claims. They will try to catch you in a lie so they can minimize your injuries. Even answering “I’m fine” can result in you losing your fair claim for damages when the claim is taken to court.
If the other driver’s insurance company calls you, we recommend telling them you have legal representation and will connect with them once you have consulted with your attorney. You can say this even if you haven’t hired a car accident lawyer yet. Once you hang up, immediately contact a lawyer so you are prepared for when they contact you again.
If you have a lawyer, ensure that you discuss speaking points with them. Get their advice on how to convey your side of the story without risking your claim. Always follow your attorney’s advice when it comes to dealing with insurance companies. Your car accident lawyer has experience dealing with their underhanded techniques to rob you of your right to damages.
