In states like North Carolina, even one careless sentence to an insurance adjuster can destroy your entire injury claim.

In the latest episode of our Road to Recovery series, catastrophic injury lawyer Clarke Speaks explains the enormous risk of giving a recorded statement without legal guidance, especially in a contributory negligence state where being even 1% at fault means you recover zero.

Learn how adjusters use vague questions about your medical history or prior injuries to manufacture doubt, reduce the value of your claim, or eliminate it altogether. We’ll share real examples of how innocent, truthful answers (“Yeah, I hurt my back once…”) can later be twisted to suggest a preexisting condition.

You’ll also find out why your first steps after an accident should be: stabilize medically, call an attorney, and make sure your doctor documents the key distinctions insurers love to exploit.
