As an injured party, should I cooperate with corporate representatives or investigators that contact me concerning the incident?

Insurance company adjusters, corporate representatives and investigators hired by either one of these entities typically contact people after an accident or on-the-job injury.

These are, of course, most often the same companies against whom your claim for injuries will be made. These representatives and investigators are often relentless is trying to persuade injured people, their families, and co-workers, to cooperate with the company’s investigations. We cannot emphasize strongly enough the importance of having YOUR own team of lawyers to conduct the investigation of the facts concerning your injury, rather than the company’s or insurance carrier’s. If you are contacted by one of these individuals following an accident or injury, refer them to GWC so that your lawyer can take charge of the investigation, and NEVER give a recorded statement without first consulting with your own attorney.
