What Are Some Common Mistakes People Make After a Car Accident?
There are some common mistakes that people make after a car accident that can really negatively affect their case. So first and foremost, it’s not calling the police, not making a record of the accident, refusing the ambulance or the medical treatment. It’s often because people think, oh no, I have to pay for this. How am I gonna do that? But insurance is gonna cover that. It’s also really important not to give any statements to the police, not to admit fault. If you think you’re even a little bit at fault, leave that for us. Leave it to us or a firm like ours to handle that for you. But ultimately, you want to get the medical treatment right away. Make sure the police are called and stay at the scene. Even if it takes the police a long time to get there, don’t leave because leaving and not having that report and then ultimately not getting medical treatment could seriously impact your case. And after that, once you leave the scene, do not talk to the insurance company. Call an experienced injury attorney like us right away. Let us get in touch ’cause these insurance companies will try to trick you into giving recorded statements or giving them information, or even into taking lowball settlement offers that you really shouldn’t. So get in touch with us right away.
