There is a great deal to know, but, it is our hope that this “Special Report” will help you to begin to understand how the process works.

1. Insurance companies, even your own, are out to save money by paying you as little as possible. Yes, it sounds crazy, people are hurt and then it is possible for the injured person to be treated unfairly by an insurance company, even their own. Why and how would they do this? They will probably want to take your recorded statement, ask you all kinds of personal questions such as your social security number (private, right?). Why? There are many reasons, mostly to pin your story down in the event things change and perhaps you were not thinking things through when you give/gave the recorded statement. Does the statement help you? Usually, “NO!” The insurance companies may try to use it against the injured person (for example, to show that somehow their story has changed implying you are lying).
