What should I do if I’m asked by a Marine Patrol officer or the Coast Guard to give a statement?
Try not to make any statement without your attorney’s counsel and advice because this communication may be very important later on in your claim.
What should I do if I’m asked by an insurance adjuster to make a recorded statement?
Try not to make any statement to an insurance adjuster without your attorney’s counsel and advice. You have the right not to give a recorded statement. Request that the insurance adjuster provide you with their name, company name, and telephone number and advise them that you will get back to them soon. This will give you time to contact your attorney and prepare a statement.
