What to Watch Out for When Giving a Recorded Statement

This is why I bought a dashcam. It can save you more than you know. Especially if the person who caused the accident is claiming you caused it.

An alias, don;t you know. So realize that you ARE being recorded every time they call you, and and they have this innocuously simple but insiduously trick question of , "How are you? " My own response , "I still suffer from a traumatic brain injury and I am not able to make a statement at this time. Talk to my attorney. Good bye. " They hound me week by week. Remember, they are adversarial.

That’s very convenient to the business of the legal community to advise against giving a statement, and to preface that with the opinion that a statement serves no legal purpose. Very self-serving. It was said your statement can be given at deposition....which means they are representing you, and will take 20 to 50% of your settlement award. Indeed, Insurance is a contract, and providing a statement at the onset DOES serve a legal purpose, that is “cooperation”, which is a clause in your insurance contract. You wont need an expensive lawyer at a deposition. If you dont give a statement at some point, your claim will be denied due to non-cooperation.

You might need an attorney, and their cut should only be 1/3. I negotiated for 1/4.
