Should you talk to the other driver's insurer?
By Marisol Vega
4 min read
Soon after a crash, an adjuster may call to ask how you are and ask for a recorded statement. It sounds routine, and it is not.
Their job is to limit what they pay
That is not a criticism, it is the business. A casual remark such as I am fine can later be used to argue you were not hurt.
What to do instead
You can politely say you will call back. Take a day, get checked by a doctor and talk to a lawyer. You do not have to give a recorded statement to the other side’s insurer.
