What Should I Tell the Insurance Company After a Car Accident?
The truth? As little as possible — until you talk to us.
After a car accident, one of the first calls you’ll get is from the insurance company. They might sound friendly, calm, and concerned. But make no mistake — they are not on your side.
At the Jessica Corley Law Firm, we want you to understand this:
What you say to the insurance company can impact your entire case — even the things that seem harmless.
Even “Simple” Questions Aren’t So Simple
You might hear questions like:
“How are you feeling today?”
“Can you tell me what happened?”
“Were you going a little fast?”
“Do you think you could’ve done something differently?”
These sound like everyday small talk — but they’re designed to trip you up. The insurance adjuster’s job is to find ways to reduce or deny your claim. Every word you say becomes part of their strategy.
Here’s the Truth: You Don’t Have to Talk to Them Alone
You have the right to legal representation — and you should use it.
At Jessica Corley Law Firm, we handle communication with the insurance company for you. Why? Because timing and wording matter.
What information they get — and when they get it — is something we control.
We don’t let them twist your words or pressure you into early statements that could hurt your case later.
We’ve Seen It All — And We Know Their Tactics
As a team led by a car accident survivor and personal injury expert, we know how easily a client’s words can be used against them. We’ve seen insurance companies:
✅ Downplay injuries
✅ Deny claims based on inconsistencies
✅ Rush people into lowball settlements before they even know the full extent of their injuries
That’s why we step in early. From your first call with us, we’ll protect your voice — and your value.

Before you speak to the insurance company, do this:
