Should I Give a Statement to an Insurance Company If I am Involved in an Accident?
Insurance companies frequently want to take statements from people involved in accidents. Their representation to the public is that they want to take statements to preserve evidence and investigate the liability of the person they are providing insurance for. Sometimes this is the case but giving a statement also provides the insurance company with information that can be used against you at a later time. Insurance companies are professionals at taking statements and asking the types of questions that are designed to prevent cases from being made against their insured (and themselves). If a statement is made voluntarily without legal advice it can sometimes hurt the case of the person giving the statement no matter how good the motives are for the person giving the statement. It is always better to have legal advice so that there is an equal playing field in this type of circumstance.
