5 Things Never To Say To Your Insurers - Yahoo Article

This is a great article, I only wish I had it last week when I had an insurance claim and wasn't sure what the best way was to go about handling. Unfortunately, our claim was denied (for other reasons than what are mentioned in the article), which is exactly why I'm posting this article. So others don't make the same mistakes.

Here are the 5 things the article discusses that you should never say to your insurance company:

1. "I think..."
2. "I got whiplash"
3. "It's an experimental treatment"
4. "My basement flooded"
5. "Just send me a check"

The most important advice I took from reading this article is, "Stick to the facts. Should the insurance rep ask you a question you can't answer, simply say, "I don't know." If the person is taking a written or recorded statement, ask for a transcript to review for misstatements."
