ANSWER: Prior to giving any statement, recorded or otherwise, it is advisable to consult with an attorney. If it is your own insurance company, then you may be required to cooperate with their investigation pursuant to the terms of your policy. If you refuse to give a statement, or falsify any information to your own insurance company, then your insurance company may be entitled to deny coverage. If somebody else's insurance company is requesting a statement, you are free to do so if you wish, but you are not required, and you should request a copy of any statement you give. Remember, any statement you give may be used in legal proceedings, so be careful to give an accurate statement, if you elect to give a statement at all.
