Question:
After a truck crash in Southwest Florida, is it a good idea to talk to the insurance companies?Answer:
After a trucking accident case, is it ever a good idea to talk to the insurance company or the lawyers for the trucking company? It is never a good idea to talk to the insurance company or the lawyers for the trucking company after you’re involved in a trucking accident case. They will ask to take a statement right away. Oftentimes they understand there’s significant value in these cases, so they want to try to get in touch with the person that was injured right away, maybe even make offers to them that are lowball offers.
You don’t want to talk to them because you don’t want to say anything that could ultimately harm your case. You should get your attorney involved right away. Your attorney can help guide you. Generally speaking, we don’t allow our clients to give statements to the insurance company. We can, in a controlled setting, send them a demand letter that explains the case without you giving a statement, which can open you up to making a bad statement. Ultimately, if the case has to go into litigation, sometimes you do have to give a statement, but our attorneys prepare you, for hours on end if need be, to make sure that you understand the type of questions that are going to be asked in advance and answer those questions appropriately. If you have any questions about that, if you did give a statement and you’re concerned about it, or if you’re being asked to give a statement, you should reach out to our law firm and we can guide you through that process.Have you lost a loved one been involved in an accident with a truck in Florida and have questions about the truck accident insurance investigation?
