Insurance carriers ask for recorded statements knowing claimants will hurt their own case. Talk to an attorney first.
Insurance adjusters routinely call injured claimants within days of an accident and request a 'quick recorded statement' to 'help process the claim.' Don't do it without talking to an attorney first.
Anything you say can and will be used to reduce or deny your claim. Adjusters are trained to ask questions that elicit harmful answers, even when you're trying to be cooperative.
Once an attorney is involved, the adjuster communicates with your attorney, not you. You don't have to take adjuster calls — and you shouldn't.
If you've already given a statement, talk to your attorney about damage control. The statement is part of the record, but its impact can often be managed.
Pre-settlement funding gives you the financial breathing room to follow legal advice rather than rush into adjuster cooperation just to get the case 'moving.'
