Why should I Provide a Recorded Statement about
my Car Accident in the Court?

• After a car accident, assuming that you are a
  victim and the one who ended up suffering
  injuries and property damage, you have the right
  to seek compensation for your damages. To do so,
  you should always start with calling the police
  and seeking medical attention, for the following
  reasons
• The police will arrive and craft a police report,
  one that you can use in your favor
• The doctor will help you with your injuries and
  write a report, one that you can use to prove
  your injuries

It Can Be Used Against You
One thing the police taught us is that
everything you say can and WILL BE used against
you. This goes with everything you say when it
matters. So, when speaking with the insurance
adjusters, if asked to provide a recorded
statement, you may say things like I am sorry
or I did not mean to do it or I am probably
guilty for, and those things will be twisted,
used out of context and used against you by the
insurance company.

Speak with your Attorney First
Remember that they have no power to force you to
say anything or record anything that you do not
want. Regardless of what they say (they usually
ask for a statement or threaten to deny you your
claim), do not provide them with a recorded
statement unless you speak with your attorney
first. If you do not have one, consult with a
Pittsburgh Car Accident Attorney Jonathan M.
Stewart and schedule a free consultation, with no
obligation of hiring any of attorneys.

If In Court, Provide Them With A Statement

• Following are include in your Statement
• Who caused it
• Where it happened and at what time
• Who was in your vehicle
• Names of any eyewitnesses (if any)
• Damages to your property
• Injuries sustained
• What you think caused the accident to happen in
  the first place

How Court Examines your Statements?
The court will examine your statement, and if the
facts are the same as the one in the evidence you
gathered and presented, your recorded statement
could and will be used in your favor. Speak with
Jonathan M. Stewart - an experienced Pittsburgh
Car Accident Attorney at SMA Law Group right
before the trial to learn a few things about how
you should record your statement and what things
you should say and in what way. Remember that
you do not have to provide the insurance company
with your recorded statement, but if the court
asks for it (and even if they dont), you should
provide them with one to increase your chances of
obtaining the settlement you deserve.
