Generally speaking, the investigators or adjusters for an insurance company that represents the wrongdoer that caused an accident want to take a tape recorded statement from the injured claimant so that they can use it later to limit the value of the claim. By getting the injured person to say on tape that they are not badly injured, or if the injured person forgets to describe any significant parts of the injuries suffered, the defense will later play the recording in court to say "the person didn't have the problems being claimed in court at the time of this recording, so they are not real or not related to this accident". In other words, the tape recording is made to use against the interests of the injured party and to try to prevent the injured person from claiming any injuries or losses later on that are not described in the recording. The best advice is never to provide such a recording!
