- Should I provide a recorded statement to the insurance company?
You are not required to provide a statement to the at fault driver’s insurance company. If one is requested, you should decline and defer to your attorney.

Following a motor vehicle crash, your own insurance would cover 80% of your medical bills and a portion of your lost wages up to $10,000.00. This is the case regardless of who was at fault for the accident. You only have fourteen days to receive medical treatment following a crash in order to qualify for PIP.
