After an accident, you might get a call from the other party’s insurance company. The adjuster may sound friendly and helpful, asking for your version of events. It’s important to remember: their job is not to help you. Instead, they aim to protect their company’s bottom line by minimizing or denying your claim.
The Risks of Speaking Without Legal Guidance
Insurance adjusters know exactly what to ask to get answers that help their case, not yours. Even a simple question like “How are you feeling?” can be used against you if you answer, “I’m fine.” They may document your words and later claim your injuries aren’t serious.
Often, they will ask you to give a recorded statement. We strongly advise against this. Anything you say on record can be picked apart and twisted to weaken your claim.
