The insurance wants to record my statement of how the incident happen. Should I let them?
Asked on Apr 24th, 2014 on Slip and Fall - California
More details to this question:
The insurance company said that they wanted to record my incident of what happened but I don't know if this will count against me or not. They said they were going to pay for my medical expenses as well but nothing has been given. They were going to contact me on wed 23 of this month but they didn't. Any input on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
You should not give the insurance company a statement or sign anything without first consulting with an attorney. Insurance companies often will give really low ball offers and try to get injured parties to sign releases to limit their liability. It may be that after speaking with an attorney you decide that you want to handle your matter on your own, but at least you will have had someone evaluate your case who has a clear understanding of how the process works and what the value of your matter is.
Thanks,Jon
