If you’ve been injured in a car accident and the insurance company wants to talk to you about it, do not do so before you talk to an attorney.
But what happens if you’ve already talked to the insurance company and they recorded the conversation before you meet with us?
First, we would request a copy of the statement. In Idaho, the insurance company is not required to give it to us. For example, they may argue that it is an attorney-client privileged communication.
If we file a lawsuit on your behalf because of the injuries you sustained in the car accident, we would do what we can to force them to deliver the recording through discovery requests. Sometimes we find that we need to file motions to the court to get the insurance company to release the recordings and documents.
Q: Can the insurance company contact me after I’ve hired you?
No, they have to go through us. They can’t talk to you once you’ve hired an attorney. If they still try to contact you, we would call them and request that they stop.
