One of the most frustrating moments is discovering that your prospective client has already given a recorded statement to the adverse insurance carrier, often without fully understanding its impact. But here’s the silver lining: those early recorded statements—whether from your client or the defendant—can hold key insights for your case. From “I don’t know” to “I never saw them,” these unscripted responses could be the treasure trove you need.
