The infamous recorded statement is commonly first requested by the insurance company immediately following a Missouri car accident, truck accident, or motorcycle crash.  As a St. Louis car accident lawyer, I can tell you that any recorded statement, regardless of who was at fault for a crash, is a very bad idea.  The injury victim must understand that insurance companies are not looking out for the best interests of those victimized in an accident.  To the contrary, insurance companies have stockholders to please first and foremost.  I have represented victims of clear liability rear-end car crashes where the insurance company used an otherwise innocent recorded statement to impeach a client's credibility. 

Missouri car accident injury victims have no duty to provide a statement to a defendant's insurance company.  Victims also have no duty to give their own insurance company a recorded statement.  First and foremost, if you are injured in a car accident you should contact a Missouri injury attorney who can place your interests first, not those of some multi-billion dollar commercial insurance company.  If you have already provided a recorded statement, do not dispair.  The injury attorneys at Schultz Legal Group may be able to file documents with the Court to exclude your statement as inadmissible evidence.  Contact our attorneys toll-free at (866) 840-3636, (314) 448-0934, or by email today.
