An Examination Under Oath is a formal procedure used by insurance companies to investigate and evaluate claims. Think of it as a legal interview where the claimant (or policyholder) provides sworn testimony under oath, often in the presence of attorneys and a court reporter.
The insurer’s representative asks questions about the details of the claim—when, where, how, and why the damage or loss occurred. The goal? To gather accurate information, resolve inconsistencies, and verify the legitimacy of the claim. EUOs are often required when the insurer needs clarity or suspects potential fraud.
An EUO may be triggered in various situations, including:
Conflicting Statements:
If the claimant has given differing accounts to the insurer, adjuster, or police.
Unclear Documentation:
Missing or contradictory paperwork.
Large or High-Risk Claims:
Especially after disasters, theft, or accidents involving injuries.
Potential Fraud:
If there are red flags suggesting a false or inflated claim.
In these situations, an EUO serves as a tool to dig deeper and protect the integrity of the insurance process.
During an EUO, you’re not only expected to cooperate—you’re also entitled to legal protection.
Here’s how a typical EUO plays out:
The insured and their attorney arrive (or connect via phone or video).
A court reporter is present to record the proceedings.
The insurance company's attorney leads the questioning.
All answers are given under oath and formally transcribed.
The interpreter is responsible for rendering all questions and responses exactly, without summarizing or editorializing.
Depending on the case, the EUO may last 30 minutes—or several hours.
01
You may (and often should) have a lawyer present.
02
You’re under oath, and any false statement can lead to serious consequences.
03
If you’re not a fluent English speaker, you have the right to an interpreter. And not just any interpreter—a qualified, impartial, and legally trained one.
Proper preparation can make or break your EUO. Claimants should:
Review their insurance policy, claim documents, and incident reports.
Be ready to explain when, how, and why the incident occurred.
Consult their attorney ahead of time for legal guidance.
And if the claimant speaks a language other than English? An interpreter must be secured in advance to ensure full understanding and legal compliance.
