It happens like this: one day you're driving in Cleburne and BAM! Out of nowhere, some negligent driver hits your car because they were being careless and not paying attention to the road. You are immediately hurt, without a car and now, because of someone else, you have to go through the hassle of dealing with the insurance company and figuring out how you will pay your medical bills. At the Anderson Law Firm, this is the story of so many of our clients that get hurt in Cleburne car wrecks. It not fair that you were injured in an accident because of someone else and it's especially unfair for the insurance company for that driver to take advantage of you, but it happens all the time.
One of the smarmiest ways insurance companies take advantage of accident victims is by convincing them to give a recorded statement. These adjusters will usually try to catch you off guard - they'll come to your hospital room, make repeated house calls and use any tactics they can to get you to make an official statement about the accident. It might sound innocent at the time and they will give you all kinds of reasons why you should give them a recorded statement and how it will benefit you - don't believe them. The only reason the insurance company wants your recorded statement is so they can use it against you. They are purely looking for things to use against you to prove that their driver wasn't at fault for your car accident in Cleburne.
You are not required by any law to give a recorded statement, although many adjusters will make it sound like it is. Saying the wrong thing in a recorded statement can ruin your ability to receive compensation for your accident injuries.
