Question:
After a bicycle crash in Buffalo, Is it a good idea to talk to insurance companies?
Answer:
When people who are involved in serious bicycle accidents come in, it is often after they have already been contacted by the other side’s insurance company. We tell them, emphatically, that they should never have any direct contact with the insurance adjuster for the driver of the other car.
The reason why you shouldn’t is because you’re dealing with a professional. The person contacting you is a very experienced person who’s going to ask questions that get you to make a statement that will not work in your favor. It doesn’t mean that what you are going to say is untruthful, but you’re going to say things in such a way that it’s going to make it look like you weren’t paying a hundred percent attention during the accident, for example.
You really need an experienced attorney who focuses on these bicycle automobile crashes to assist you in dealing with those particular questions. As a general rule we say, no, do not talk to the other insurance company because they’re not going to be helpful to you. They’re looking out for their driver. You need someone who’s tough and tenacious on your side to be able to protect your rights. As a general rule, we tell people to not give a statement, which is generally a recorded statement, to the insurance company for the driver of that other car.
