If you’ve been injured in an accident, one important piece of advice is this: don’t give a recorded statement to the insurance company for the person who caused the accident until you’ve spoken with our experienced Atlanta, GA car accident lawyer.
Many people believe that simply telling the truth about what happened during a recorded statement will keep things straightforward and fair. Unfortunately, that’s often not the case. Without legal guidance, recorded statements can unintentionally harm your injury claim.
How Insurance Adjusters Use Recorded Statements
Insurance adjusters are trained professionals whose primary goal is to minimize the insurance company’s payout. During recorded statements, they may try to get you to say things that could reduce the value of your claim or even be used against you later.
Because of this, what you say in a recorded statement can follow your case from start to finish. A simple misstep or poorly worded answer could seriously impact your ability to receive fair compensation.
Protect Yourself By Getting Legal Help First
Before agreeing to any recorded statement, contact a trusted personal injury attorney. An experienced lawyer will:
- Guide you on what to say and what not to say
- Protect your rights throughout the process
- Help ensure your claim is handled fairly
