Why You Should Never Give a Statement After a Car Accident to Opposing Insurance Company

Insurance adjusters have two jobs. First, the adjuster must protect the rights of the insurer. An oral statement will be recorded.  When taking the statement from you, it is the intention of the adjuster to use that statement against you sometime in the future. If you are not represented by an attorney at the time that you give that statement, what the insurer and the adjuster are doing is perfectly legal.

What Happens When an Adjuster Takes Your Statement

If the jury reduces the teen's award by 20 percent, that adjuster saved his employer tens of thousands of dollars by getting that statement from the boy. You are not Required to Give a Statement to the Opposing Insurer

No law in any of the 50 states requires you to give a statement to an opposing insurer. Might giving a statement to the opposing insurer help my case?

If the adjuster tells you that giving a statement will help your case, do not believe it. The insurance company that employs the adjuster is not going to help you simply because you gave a statement.
