What Should I Say to an Insurance Adjuster After an Accident?

Video Transcript

After an accident, you don’t really want to talk to the insurance adjusters very much, certainly not about your injury. The best thing to do is to contact us and let us do the talking for you. You don’t have to give a recorded statement, and it’s much better to consult with an attorney first before you start saying what you think happened in the wreck to the insurance company, because they’re not on your side. They’re looking for ways to get out of paying for what their responsibility should be, and so it’s best to make sure you know what your options are and what the issues are before you start giving recorded statements.

You want to be careful what you say to the insurance company after the injury happens, and that’s because they’re going to use everything you say against you. For instance, if you say, oh, it was partially my fault or I didn’t see this, and you blame yourself, which there’s a natural tendency to sort of look within and say, oh, what did I do wrong, rather than focusing on what the other driver did wrong. And so, you need to be careful how you say it. You don’t want to be overly polite and end up saying something you didn’t mean.
