A few years ago my Father-in-law was seriously injured in an auto collision. He was immediately taken to the hospital for surgery. The next day, while he was recovering from surgery in his hospital bed and loaded with pain medication, he got a phone call from the insurance company wanting a statement. This is all too common, and many people don't realize that they can refuse to give a statement until they feel better - or refuse to give a statement at all.
If you've been injured in an accident and the insurance company is trying to get you to make a statement, or if they are trying to get you to sign anything, call a lawyer - even if you think its a simple case. You have rights that the insurance company will not tell you about.
If you have any questions regarding your legal rights after a motor vehicle collision, or about any aspect of a personal injury claim, please check out my website or send me an email.
