Should You Give a Recorded Statement to the Insurance Company?

Injured West Virginians face enough stress without legal confusion, so here is a clear explanation.

Why They Want It

A recorded statement gives the adjuster a chance to lock you into details — about fault, speed, or your injuries — before you fully understand your case. Anything you say can be used to reduce or deny your claim.

You're Usually Not Required to Give One

You generally are not obligated to give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer. Politely declining until you have spoken with an attorney protects you.

Let Your Attorney Handle Communication

Once represented, you can route insurer contact through your attorney, who knows how to provide necessary information without handing the insurer ammunition.
