I was recently injured an accident, and an insurance adjuster wants to take my statement about the accident? What should I do?

You should contact an experienced personal injury attorney immediately. You are under no legal obligation to give any statement to the responsible person’s insurance company. Insurance companies often obtain statements from accident victims very shortly after an accident while they are still in pain, under medication and before they know the true extent of their injuries. As a result, victims are often unable to give full and detailed explanations or statements concerning the accident and their injuries. Insurance adjusters are trained to obtain statements from victims that will damage their case. The insurance companies then sometimes later use these premature statements to try to hurt or devalue the victim’s case. You should never give a statement to the responsible person’s insurance company without first discussing your case with an experienced personal injury attorney.
