FAQ

Should I give a recorded statement as an injured passenger?

Short Answer

Quick guidance

Be careful. Passengers may be contacted quickly by insurance companies, but you should avoid guessing or minimizing symptoms before you understand your injuries.

Full Answer

Insurance companies may ask passengers for detailed information because passengers can be important witnesses. If you are injured, do not guess about speed, fault, or how your body will feel later. Consider getting guidance before giving a recorded statement, especially if you have pain, multiple insurers are involved, or the driver was someone close to you.
