Do I have to talk to my insurance company after getting in a car accident?

Yes, but before you talk to an insurance company or agree to do a recorded statement, please contact us first so we can advise you of your legal rights. An insurance company can refuse to provide you benefits if you are not complying with your policy. This is why it is important to speak to a lawyer so they can advise you of your legal rights regarding how to comply with your insurance company while also avoiding the pitfalls of giving a statement that could affect your rights at a later time.
