Catastrophic injury victims in Colorado should not provide statements to insurance companies. Instead, they should coordinate with their attorney to handle communications. Here are several reasons why you should avoid providing statements to insurance adjusters:
- Protection from misrepresentation: Insurance companies may take statements and use missteps in wording as an indicator of blame, reducing what they are required to pay. Phrases like “I apologize” or “I didn’t see” can be misconstrued as indicating partial or full liability.
- Control over messaging: Lawyers communicate with insurance adjusters on your behalf, using precise language that supports your case without opening vulnerabilities that could harm your claim.
- Experience with negotiations: Attorneys have the skills to challenge low offers, evaluate policy limits, and pursue a balanced approach when presenting evidence to insurers. A skilled catastrophic injury attorney will account for the scope of the harms and losses you have suffered when negotiating for compensation on your behalf.
