In this video, Baltimore car accident lawyer John Leppler discusses whether you should give a recorded statement to the at-fault driver's insurance company.

Video Transcript:

If somebody suffers severe injuries from a car accident they were involved in, should they ever give a recorded statement to the at-fault driver's insurance carrier?

And the answer is an emphatic no.

If somebody's injured in an accident that is not their fault and suffered severe injuries, the injured victim has zero obligation to have any communication with the at-fault driver's insurance company.

Almost every single time before the seriously injured victim retains an experienced personal injury lawyer, the at-fault driver's insurance carrier will have their adjusters contact directly the injured victim and ask to give them a recorded statement. Here the insurance adjusters are not the injured victim's friend.

They are trying to devalue and discredit the injured victim's personal injury claim against their own insured, the at-fault driver. It is so critical that if an injured victim sees or has an insurance adjuster call them that is not their own insurance company, they must immediately hang up the phone and contact an experienced personal injury lawyer.
