We designed this website to provide information to consumers, injured people, and their families. Our goal is to level the playing field between consumers and insurance companies and expose the tricks, traps, and techniques they use to cheat injured people out of their legal rights. We also let consumers know about legal news, including verdicts and settlements and other interesting legal information.
But please understand that nothing on this website is meant to provide legal information about your specific case, create an attorney-client relationship, or imply that the results of your legal case will be the same as some other case.
Q: I was just involved in a car wreck and I do not have an attorney yet. I just received a call from the insurance company of the driver who caused the accident and they want me to give a recorded statement about what happened and what are my injuries. Should I give the recorded statement or wait until I have talked with an attorney?
A: Always wait to give a recorded statement until you have talked with an attorney. Insurance companies know that immediately after an accident, most people have not hired an attorney yet. The other driver's insurance company will call and want to pressure you into giving a recorded statement. The insurance company may even tell you that, by law, you have to give a recorded statement. That is FALSE! You are under no obligation to give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company.
It is best to speak with an attorney first before giving answers that are recorded. The other driver's insurance company is looking out for their own interests and is not looking out for what is best for you. Your recorded answers could be used to severely limit how much money the insurance company pays you. That is why it is important to always speak with an attorney before giving a recorded statement.
The attorneys at Vujasinovic & Beckcom P.L.L.C. have handled many car wreck cases involving recorded statements. If you are receiving phone calls from the other driver's insurance company about giving a recorded statement or have already given a recorded statement and want to know your rights, contact us at 713-224-7800.
