Dealing with Your Insurance Company after an Accident

Dallas Car Accident Attorney

Dealing with your insurance company after an accident is a potentially tricky situation. Typically, your insurance policy requires you to notify your insurance company of an accident within a certain amount of time. Whether you caused the accident or not, the insurance company has a right to investigate the background facts of an accident in which its policyholder was involved.

As part of the investigation, the insurance adjuster might ask you if he/she has your permission to record your telephone conversation (typically a question and answer format). Having worked for insurance companies for several years, the attorneys at our firm are suspicious of insurance companies-whether they represent you or the other driver. Remember, the primary goal of insurance claims adjusters is to make their company money. They are not in the business of paying settlements for injury and property damage claims. With this understanding, we believe it is always preferable to speak with an attorney before giving a recorded statement to your insurance company. However, you will need to act relatively quickly and make sure you respond timely to your insurance company's request for a recorded statement. Under most policies, a failure to provide timely information could render your policy voidable.

The attorneys at Reed & Riordan, PLLC have experience representing victims who have been severely injured as the result of someone else's negligence. Contact one of our knowledgeable Dallas truck accident lawyers today at (214) 570-9555 or (888) 229-8985 to learn more about your rights.
