If you’ve been involved in an accident, giving a recorded statement early on is something that is often requested. You’re tempted to do it; why not? You want to tell your side of the story and you want to get things moving in the right direction. The problem is that your recorded statement will often be used against you. How does this happen? The person taking the recorded statement is a trained professional. They ask you questions in a way to elicit a certain type of response and attempt to twist your words around by asking you confusing and complicated questions.
Don’t give a recorded statement because you will find your words twisted around and later on if you decide to pursue a personal injury claim those words will be used against you. At the Anderson Law Firm we are opposed to our clients giving a recorded statement. Our clients do, however, have to give depositions but we go over the questions and our attorneys make sure our clients are prepared for those questions. So if you have a lawyer, or if you don’t be extremely careful about giving a recorded statement; it could just ruin your case.
