Hi. I’m attorney Scott Wright. You’ve been involved in an automobile accident or a fall down at a grocery store or a restaurant or a supermarket, and you’ve hurt yourself. You’ve been contacted by the insurance company for the store or for the at-fault driver and asked to give a recorded statement, and you’re wondering whether or not you should do that. Generally speaking, the answer is this. If you’re contemplating hiring an attorney, you’d be well advised to speak with that attorney before you give a recorded statement. The terms of an insurance policy, in particular if it’s your own coverage, may require you to give a recorded statement as part of your responsibility to cooperate with your insurance company in the investigation of the claim.

But generally speaking, the best single bit of advice I can give you is, if you are considering retaining an attorney, do so before you give a recorded statement to any insurance company, adjuster, or representative. If you’d like to discuss the circumstances of your case in more detail, feel free to give me a call. You can reach me 24-hours a day, 7-days a week at 723-1997. I look forward to speaking with you.
