Why does the lawyer for the insurance company want me to go to an examination under oath?
An examination under oath is supposed to be a tool that’s utilized by the insurance company to gather some more information about questions they have with regards to your claim. However, in practice, it’s generally used as a tool to assist the insurance company in denying coverage for your claim.
If an insurance company asks you to submit to an examination under oath, it’s best to have representation with you to ensure that the insurance company is asking the types of questions that should be asked during an examination under oath and to provide you guidance with regards to any obstacles they may throw your way.
