If you were involved in a car accident and the other driver was at fault, you may be contacted by the other driver’s insurance company as part of the claims process. In some cases, the insurance company may request that you provide a statement or answer questions about the accident.
You are not required to speak with the other driver’s insurance company if you do not want to. You may choose to have your own insurance company or an attorney handle communication with the other driver’s insurance company on your behalf.
It’s important to keep in mind that insurance companies are in the business of making money, and may try to minimize the amount they have to pay out on a claim. You should be careful not to provide any information that could be used against you or that could jeopardize your ability to recover damages.
If you do decide to speak with the other driver’s insurance company, it’s a good idea to have an attorney present to protect your interests. An attorney can help you understand your rights and options and can ensure that you are treated fairly during the claims process.
At Billings Chiropractic Injury Clinic, we are always grateful to have an attorney watching out for our patients! In fact, if you don’t already have an attorney, we almost always recommend a great attorney to help navigate the confusion after a crash.
