¿Es una buena idea hablar con la compañía de seguros después de un accidente automovilístico?
Muchas veces vemos que la gente quiere hablar con el seguro y empezar el proceso tan pronto tienen un accidente de vehículo. Y sí, deben hablar con el seguro, pero no hasta que contacten con un abogado. Hablar con el seguro, aunque uno piense que es algo inocuo o simple, puede derivar en un pequeño problema, ya que el seguro querrá que usted diga cosas que quizás no sean en su favor. Por eso es importante que el abogado coordine cualquier conversación que usted tenga con el seguro, desde el inicio, para que él pueda protegerlo y comprobar que no usen palabras o que hagan que usted diga algo que quizás no vaya a ayudarlo en su caso. Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre éste o cualquier otro tema, nos puede llamar de inmediato. Gracias.

Should you give a recorded statement? Well, what a lot of people don’t know is that you’re contractually obligated to give a recorded statement to your own insurance company. You do not, on other hand, have to give a recorded statement to the insurance company for the other person.
What’s important is that you retain an attorney that can assist you with that process and make sure that the questions that are asked are appropriate questions for the case. You don’t want to answer questions related to things that aren’t material to the case. You don’t want them going on a fishing expedition, so it’s important that you have an attorney that’s going to sit there, that’s going to be with you on the line while they’re asking you questions, to protect your rights and make sure that the statement is focused on what needs to be asked.
Yes, you have to give a recorded statement. The things is, when you initially call the insurance company, it’s usually on a recorded line and they’re going to try to get you to give statements and make admissions immediately upon calling the insurance company, so it’s always best, like we tell all our clients, if you’re ever involved in a motor vehicle accident, please call us first. We will be able to assist you in every stage of the case. For answers to these or other questions, feel free to give us a call. We’ll be happy to help you. "}},}]}
