When the insurance company for the offending party, the driver that ran into the back of you at the stop sign or the establishment that left water on the floor for hours that you ultimately slipped in, if those are the type of folks that are contacting you early on in the case, it is not advisable to speak with them or give them any sort of recorded statement unless and until you obtain quality and competent legal representation that can walk you through those things and not only walk you through them but be present with you when that’s occurring.
