Give a recorded statement.

You must notify your insurance company of the accident if you are planning on making a claim for your injury. But insurance company representatives for the responsible party often call victims to “clarify” details of an accident in a recorded statement. Anything you say in these conversations can be used against you, so it is best to decline giving a statement.

Accept a settlement.

Victims are often eager to move on after an accident, and insurance companies know this. They may pressure a victim into accepting a low settlement quickly, making it impossible for the victim to recover additional damages later. If you have been offered a settlement, you should always consult with an attorney before you accept.
