Insurance companies will often attempt to minimize your claim by requesting statements that could later be used against you to reduce or deny your compensation. Adjusters may seem sympathetic and encourage you to "explain what happened," but their primary goal is to gather information that can shift fault onto you or downplay the extent of your injuries. If an insurer claims your case is denied or closed due to a lack of a statement, it is critical to contact an experienced personal injury attorney immediately.
Remember, you are not legally obligated to provide a statement to the opposing insurance company without legal representation. An attorney can advise you on how to handle these requests and ensure your rights are protected throughout the process. At William John DiPetrillo & Associates , we handle all communications with insurance companies on your behalf, preventing you from inadvertently compromising your case and working to secure the fair compensation you deserve.
