Peter W. Beadle

I am an experienced personal injury litigator and have handled cases on both the defense and plaintiff's side, from airplane to bicycle crashes, products liability, toxic torts, premises liability and construction/labor law claims in both State and Federal Courts. I am also an advocate for safer streets and better designed and more functional cities. As a result, my current practice is focused largely on pedestrians and cyclists seriously injured in crashes with motor vehicle drivers, as well as those hurt in other ways through peoples' negligence.

Q. What’s the best way to handle GEICO’s report?

December 6, 2024

A: Whatever you do, do not lie in your report to GEICO. If you have already told police you did not see the pedestrian, and presumably you told the police the truth, to now tell GEICO a different story could cost you your insurance coverage. You have a duty to cooperate with your insurance company and that includes being completely truthful with them, good or bad, so that they can evaluate and adjust the claim. If the claim is not quickly settled and a lawsuit commences, you will eventually be asked under oath what happened. You will need to give a truthful answer or risk a charge of perjury. If you have told the police something very different that what you appear to now be claiming happened, you will have to explain that discrepancy. ... Read More
