You\u2019ve already been through a lot after getting hurt in a crash, and now the insurance companies are giving you a hard time with your claim.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, insurance companies operate to turn a profit, which means they are often more concerned with their own bottom line than the quality of your life.<\/p>\n<p>In light of this, when you file a claim for damages after a car crash, insurance providers will typically ask you to provide your accident statement over the phone so they can record it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You don\u2019t have to do this.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>In fact, you have the option to provide your statement to the insurance company in writing or your attorney may do it for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These are better options than providing your statement over the phone because a recorded statement can impact your claim in at least these two ways:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>#1 &#8211; Your Words Can Be Misconstrued.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Insurance companies frequently (and perhaps intentionally) misconstrue statements from claimants in an effort to provide them with less compensation.<\/p>\n<p>While this is unfair, there is nothing technically illegal about it, so insurance companies continue the practice.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>#2 &#8211; Saying Sorry Can Be A Knee-Jerk Reaction.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Apologizing for any part of the crash can be seen as an admission of fault, even if you are clearly not to blame for the accident.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a tendency to say \u201csorry,\u201d it may be best to avoid providing your statement over the phone.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>We Can Help Injured Crash Victims<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Having a skilled car accident attorney on your side can help take the burden of dealing with insurance companies off your shoulders.
