Should I Give a Recorded Statement to an Insurance Company After a Texas Truck Accident?

A: After an injury in a Texas truck accident, the trucker's insurance company may call you and ask for a recorded statement. They may ask nicely or even imply that the statement is required - but you should never give a recorded statement without first speaking to a Texas truck accident attorney about your case.

Even if you are determined to tell the complete truth, recorded statements can still hurt your injury case and your settlement:

• It is easy to leave out important details when relaying your story on the spot. 
• Injury victims can misspeak when under the pressure of a recorded statement. 
• Insurance companies will attempt to collect the statements quickly - before all of the evidence is collected and before all of your injuries are apparent. 
• Insurance companies will take advantage of your confusion in the days after the crash.
