My name is Kenny Berger. I'm a lawyer and made this video to answer that exact question. Alright, here's the deal: if you're talking to an insurance adjuster, especially if it's an insurance adjuster for the person who hurt you, be it the at fault driver, the at fault property owner - whoever it is - if it's their insurance company, here's what you need to know. You don't have to give a statement. That's not a real thing. No one is requiring you to give a statement. Now, if it's your own insurance company and they want you to give a statement, that may be a little different. It depends on the policy terms. If that comes up, call us and we'll answer the question and do it for free. Next thing you need to know, when it comes to insurance adjusters, you don't have to sign any of the forms that the at fault person's insurance company is sending you. Again, that's not real. A lot of times they'll want all your medical records, your medical records going back basically to birth. Ehh, don't sign any of their forms. They're not doing that for your health. They're certainly not doing it to help you. Third thing you should know is before you talk with an insurance adjuster, at a minimum, you don't have to hire a lawyer, but just consult with one. You're welcome to call us, call another attorney who handles the type of case that you're dealing with, and just get a free consultation. Get your questions answered and at least, you're going into that conversation - if you end up having a conversation with an insurance adjuster - knowing what your rights are. The last thing we want is for insult to be literally added to injury. So, consult with an attorney before contacting an insurance adjuster. If you have any other questions about any aspect of a case, give us a call and we're glad to, again, answer any of your questions and do anything we can to help you free of charge. And if you end up needing us beyond that, it's certainly a conversation that we can have. More than anything though, we just want to make sure your rights are protected. Law Office of Kenneth E.
