Once you have hired an injury attorney to handle your case, you should consult with your attorney about who you should and should not speak to regarding your case. You should avoid any written or recorded statements without the approval of your attorney because they could later be used against you. You should not sign any forms (even releases of information) from any of the insurance companies because you may unknowingly sign away your right to bring a legal action. Even when you are dealing with your own insurance company, it is advisable to consult with your attorney before signing documents or accepting any settlements.
