Should I give a recorded statement? Longshore Lawyer - Bill Turley


Should I Give a Recorded Statement?

One of the questions we are frequently asked is whether an injured Longshore worker should give a recorded statement, written statement, signed statement, video statement or any other kind of statement to the Longshore compensation insurance adjuster or Longshore insurance investigator.

After all, it seems so reasonable. “All we need is a statement so we can provide you Longshore benefits.” Or, We can’t provide you with medical treatment or weekly compensation checks until we get your statement.”


Stop!

Giving a recorded or written statement is always a mistake. The only question is how big a mistake. Statements can end your case. Dead. Just like that. The Longshore adjuster or the investigator know exactly what they want you to say and what they need you to say. You would be amazed how many people fall into their traps.

The adjustor or investigator can get you all twisted up. People try to be agreeable because they are nervous and trying to get along. This is always a disaster.

Giving a recorded or written statement is not necessary for you to obtain Longshore benefits. It will only be used to deny your Longshore claim. Why do something that can really hurt you, but can't help you?

Never, ever give a recorded statement. Ever.


What happens if I did give the insurance adjuster a written or recorded statement?

First things first, you or your attorney have to go into damage control mode. Immediately. You always need to advise your attorney that you gave a statement. If you don’t have an attorney you need to request to receive a copy of the written statement or the recording. Make sure you put the request in writing, with a proof of service.

You (most likely our attorney) is going to need the statement in order to ascertain the damage done to your case.
