Should I talk with the insurance company representative? Should I give a statement to the other insurance company?
A: Our recommendation is that you not speak to the insurance company representative for the person who hit you until you have spoken to an experience personal injury lawyer. Be aware that if you give a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster that statement may be used against you later. (Try this: ask the insurance adjuster if you can record a statement from the person who hit you!)

FAQs
Auto Accidents and Car Wrecks
Does it matter that I didn't see the doctor right after my car accident?
- Do I have to use my own health insurance for my auto accident injuries? I've been injury in a motor vehicle accident and my doctor has referred me for therapy. I have private health coverage through work and I have Accident Benefits Coverage on my auto policy. My auto insurer is telling me I have to use my own private health coverage to pay for therapy costs prior to accessing my Accident Benefits Coverage. Why?
- I was injured in a car accident and my insurance company is telling me I have to use my personal insurance (e.g. Desjardins, Blue Cross, Manulife) to pay for my massage therapy, physiotherapy and prescription drugs before I can use either the accident benefit coverage (Section B) on my automobile policy, or the insurance of the guy who hit me. Is this right?
