Absolutely not, and we would strongly advise you not to. Remember, the claims person is trained and taught with regard to how to take statements, and their job is to settle claims, but they want to keep the exposure and payouts by their own employer to a minimum.

We would strongly advise you not to give a statement to the other side’s insurance company.
