Car Accident Insurance Investigation

Learn about the car accident insurance investigation and why you shouldn’t give a statement in this video with Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice, Purtz, Smith & Smith, P.A.

Attorney Christopher J Smith advises about statements to auto insurance companies after an injury.

Question:

After a car accident in Fort Myers, FL is it a good idea to talk to the insurance company?

Answer:

If you’re involved in a motor vehicle crash in Florida, do not give a recorded statement to the insurance company, even if it’s your own insurance company. Let your personal injury attorney handle that and help you through that process. You really need someone with the experience and expertise in personal injury to guide you through those types of things. That’s why it’s important to get an attorney involved as quickly as possible. Oftentimes, insurance companies will contact people very quickly after the crash to try to get them to give statements, or answer questions, or possibly even try to resolve their cases before they’re even able to get an attorney involved. After you’re involved in a motor vehicle crash, your life is turned upside down. It’s understandable that you would want to try to get things resolved as quickly as possible, but you want to speak to a personal injury attorney who is going to look out for your interests and make sure that you are compensated for your damages. Your damages are not always apparent in the days, weeks, or maybe even months after the crash.

That’s why it’s important to talk to someone who specializes in car crash accidents to guide you through the process. Something to think about is who you talk to:  are they local here in SW Florida with multiple locations for your convenience?  Does the lawyer you speak with know all the local and federal judges and court process?  We are here to help: free consultations with an attorney are just a call or CLICK away.
