What do you do when the insurance company wants to take your statement after you have been injured?
There are many questions that arise when someone wants to take a statement from you after you have been injured. Most of the time the person making the statement is someone who has no duty to protect your interests. Insurance companies and other responsible parties try to take statements from injured people so that they can shield themselves from paying what they are otherwise required to pay. Insurance companies may use statements in order to try to limit the damages you can seek. They also try to encourage you to say things in the statement that they can use against you when you make a claim. If someone wants to take a statement from you after you have been injured, they are probably not working to help you, they are trying to limit your rightful recovery.
