Insurance Adjusters Will Press You For
A Recorded Statement On Your Motorcycle Accident Claim - Don't Do It!!
Many motorcycle accidents are documented by a police report on the scene at the
time of the accident. Typically, the police report will include a statement from
all parties involved in the accident, including witnesses who saw the accident.
When motorcycle accident injuries occur or if someone else involved in the
motorcycle crash needs immediate medical attention, then obviously, medical
assistance takes precedence over the police report. The police will contact the
person suffering from the
motorcycle accident injury
a few days after the
accident to see about collecting a statement from them for the police report.
However, even though your side of the story is well documented in the police
report, many insurance adjusters will press you for a recorded statement. Some
insurance companies will even go so far as to tell you that they cannot open a
motorcycle accident claim without your recorded statement. Be warned!! They are
trying to get you to say something that they can keep on record which can later
be used in court against you. It's their job to undermine your judgment, your
opinion, your liability, your ethics, your integrity, and everything else they
can, as best they can, to weasel out of paying you any
motorcycle accident claim
money that might be due to you.
Tactics and Strategies the Insurance Adjusters Will Try To Sabotage Your
Motorcycle Accident Claim
It's worth taking a look at the tactics and strategies that insurance adjusters
will use to try and undermine your case or to sabotage your motorcycle
accident claim. It's
important that you are aware of their tactics and know how to respond
appropriately, as the law permits you to. Some excuses the adjusters will use to
try and get a recorded statement from you include:
1) "We need a recorded statement from you before we can open up a case to start
the investigation."
2) "Sorry, I am just doing my job."
3) "We need to understand the nature of your injuries to help us process your
claim."
4) "We want to hear in your own words how you think the accident happened."
These are all excuses and devious ways they are trying to get you to say
something that they can use against you in the case to get out of paying you any
insurance money. So, what should you do when they press you for a recorded
statement? You should simply refuse to give a statement. Offer absolutely no
information whatsoever related to the accident. You should tell them that if
they need any information that they can contact your attorney.
If you don't have
a motorcycle accident attorney to represent you, this is the perfect
demonstration as to why you do need a motorcycle accident attorney working for
you. It can make a huge difference when it comes to collecting money from an
insurance company. Your chances are very slim to successfully collect money from
an insurance claim without an attorney, because the insurance companies know the
motorcycle accident laws, and they know how to bend the law in their favor and
weasel out of ever paying you a penny.
If you don't have an attorney to
represent you, the insurance companies also know that you do not know the
motorcycle accident laws that can affect your case. Insurance companies love
claims where the defendant represents him or herself. You become a sitting duck,
and an easy kill. Therefore, hiring an experienced motorcycle accidents lawyer is your best
bet for getting reimbursement for all the pain and suffering you encountered in this
unfortunate accident. Don't take any risks that could jeopardize your motorcycle
accident claim, it's not worth it.
