Examinations Under Oath
One of the least understood and the most critical stage of filing an insurance claim is when the insurance company asks you to appear for an examination under oath. An examination under oath is similar to a deposition when an attorney hired by the insurance company asks the insured questions about their claim under oath. This is part of the insurance company’s investigative practices. Under Michigan law and the laws of most states, the insurance company is given extraordinary latitude in what it can ask. Often when an insured submits to an examination under oath, their claim can be made or broken at this stage. This is the time you absolutely need experienced counsel. Nightmares are often created when inexperienced counsel represents a plaintiff on an insurance claim at the examination under oath stage as well as in subsequent litigation.
Our office has represented insureds for decades at Examinations Under Oath. We do not charge for an initial consultation with regard to an examination under oath, and our fee arrangements are flexible depending on the nature of the case and the desire of the client.
