Is it normal for an insurance fraud agent to show up at your door after a car accident?

I was recently in a car accident in which both sides claimed through their insurance. An agent from GEICO insurance fraud left a card at my door. I called him and he questioned me! Could I be in trouble or is this a precautionary thing?

Call a personal injury atty for a consultation. If you want I'm available to chat more. My advice is don't talk to anyone else until you speak with an atty.

Consult a local personal injury attorney - many offer free initial consultations. Call an attorney BEFORE giving any statements etc

You also may need a criminal defense attorney. The fraud investigators can be very aggressive. I am currently defending several insurance fraud cases. Feel free to contact me if you have questions.

Yes, you could be in trouble. Do not speak any further to the insurance agent from Geico fraud until you have retained an attorney. Best of luck.

It's a red flag. Who was at fault? What injuries are you claiming?

This is unusual.You should obtain needed medical care and treatment immediately and follow the doctor's advice. Do not give any statement to the adverse party or insurance company nor grant them access to any medical records. Photograph the injuries and the damage done to any property. Contact a personal injury attorney in your area as soon as possible so that you can protect your rights. You may also find it helpful to review the Legal Guides I have published on .com dealing with many of the issues you are now facing. The Guides can be accessed through my profile page on .com.

I am not surprised. Clients of mine have told me that individuals from the insurance company have shown up trying to get them to settle for nominal value before hiring an attorney.
