Question:
After a pedestrian accident in Buffalo, is it a good idea to talk to insurance companies?
Answer:
Generally, if you’ve been involved in a very serious pedestrian accident, the insurance company for the driver is going to want to track you down and get a statement from you. The insurance adjuster that works for the insurance company for the driver is generally very experienced. They’re very good at what they do, and they are going to want to get a statement from you. You, on the other hand, probably have not been struck by a car before, and this is the first time you’re dealing with the situation. In other words, you are not a professional.
As a general rule, you do not want to be giving any statements to an insurance company without first coming to see us. We will give you advice on what you should say and, more importantly, whether you should say anything. As a general rule, we tell our clients not to make any statements to the insurance company because there’s nothing that they can say at this point in time which will help them.
Save your story for the jury. Save your story for the trial. You’re not obligated right now to give out any information, to give out any evidence which could then be used against you. The number one rule of thumb is to do no harm. Generally, the way to do that is to not give a statement to the insurance company when they come knocking at your door or calling you on the phone.
