Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

I have an open workers compensation case. I just received a delay in determining liability notice 3 days ago and have completed but not yet mailed in the paperwork.

This afternoon I had an employee of their insurance come to my residence to get a recorded statement. This doesnt seem right, I feel like it's more harrasment (which I've been getting from the management since the initial incident) and don't really want to give a recorded statement since they just requested a written statement.

Is it typical and should I make a recorded statement?

You should retain an attorney as soon as the carrier requested to take your statement, otherwise everything sounds standard for a comp case. An attorney can force the carrier to stop calling and attempting to get your statement.

The proper way to get information from you would be in the presence of your attorney and in a deposition setting. Taking recorded statement is to gain important facts about your case without assistance of a professional attorney who can tell you what your rights are and you will be left alone.
