Insurance companies like to ask for recorded statements right after a car crash because they want details they can use to limit what they have to pay you later on. You might feel pressure to respond quickly, especially if the adjuster sounds friendly. However, speaking to the insurance company without legal guidance is risky.
You might not know the full extent of your injuries or the damage to your vehicle in the first few days. If you guess incorrectly or provide an incomplete answer, you might be boxing yourself into an unfavorable version of events. The adjuster could use your statement to challenge your claim later.
