Should I accept the money? Answer","text":"You should always be suspicious about any settlement offer the insurance company makes. They are in the business of making money, and to do that, they want to avoid paying out large settlements. Insurance companies rarely have your best interests in mind and, as such, will make lowball offers hoping that you\u2019ll be happy to receive anything at all. Don\u2019t accept any settlement offer from an insurance company without first speaking to one of our attorneys.","@id":"https:\/\/www.kentuckycourage.com\/personal-injury-attorneys\/#Answer4"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","text":"Absolutely not. Even if the insurance adjuster tells you that you are required to give a recorded statement, you are not. If they tell you they will close your file if you don\u2019t provide it, they are lying. If you do provide this to the insurance company, they will use it against you in the future to reduce, deny, or delay your claim.","name":"The insurance company is asking for a recorded statement.
