Should I give a statement to the insurance adjuster?

The insurance company may seem eager to help. But, please remember that their goal is to protect their bottom line. Insurance adjusters are trained to prevent or lower payouts and are adept at reducing the value of a claim or altogether negating a claim. They will try to lowball you and make you a quick offer to close out the claim. Talk to an experienced New York personal injury lawyer first and do not talk or have any contact with an insurance company.
