When you’ve been injured in a car accident and your case is in the hands of an insurance company, everything may seem friendly and cooperative. However, there’s a reason why adjusters want to capture your voice on a recording: to use it against you. In this article, I’ll explain why you should never give a recorded statement, and what insurance companies don’t want you to know about it.
The “Friendly” Adjuster Has a Hidden Purpose
Even if the adjuster acts empathetic and caring, they are not there to help you, they’re there to minimize your claim. Their “friendliness” has one goal: to weaken your case.
Why Do They Want You to Give a Recorded Statement?
A recorded statement can be edited, twisted, or taken out of context. Every single word you say can be turned into a tool to reduce your compensation.
You Are Not Required to Give One
Don’t sign or agree to provide a recorded statement without speaking with a lawyer first. Adjusters may insist, but you have every right to say no.
Signing Documents Without Legal Advice Is a Common Trap
In addition to trying to record your statement, an adjuster may offer quick payments in exchange for your signature. Signing a release without legal counsel can permanently close your case, even if your injuries get worse later.
Hiring a Lawyer Changes the Game
Once you have legal representation, insurance companies are forced to negotiate more fairly. They don’t want you to hire an attorney because it means they’ll likely have to pay the true value of your claim.
Conclusion
If an insurance company is pressuring you to give a recorded statement or act quickly, stop and seek legal advice before saying or signing anything. Doing so protects not only your case but also your peace of mind.
