Some topics can be covered in a very short time. This is one of those topics. The answer is “NO”.
I am sure that someone could come up with an exception to this rule. Feel free to contact me with it. The bottom line is that the other insurance company does not represent you or your best interests. In fact they are duty and contract bound to do just the opposite. They are representing your opposition. No good is going to come from you giving a recorded statement. They want to lock you down to a story that may be incomplete or one-sided because if the way they asjed the questions or the questions they asked.
The moment you try to add the important facts later you will be met with ” well that was not in your recorded statement of _____, did you not think it was important?” Do you recall being asked if that was your complete statement and if you had anything to add?
You probably can’t outsmart them on the phone. They’ve had more practice. The only way to win is to not give the statement. You are not gettting to take a recorded statement of the other party. Why should you give them a statement. Contact your insurance company. Contact your lawyer. Conatact anybody. Just don’t give a recorded statement – or any statement to the other insurance company.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
