The insuance company wants to take a recorded statement, is there any reason why I shouldn't or what should I be on the lookout for?

A: The insurance company has a right to know your version of how the car accident happened but there is nothing that says you have to give a recorded statement. Unless you've been over the facts, have been through this before and know what to look out for it's really in your best interest to first hire a lawyer. I know people don't like hearing that but this is one of the ways people ruin their case; by saying something that can later be twisted or given another meaning, because your answer was vague.
