Being in a car accident can be overwhelming and stressful. But knowing what to do—and what NOT to do—can help make things easier after a car accident. Here are 3 common mistakes people make after an accident and how to avoid them.
1. Calling Insurance on Their Own Thinking the Insurance Company Acts in Their Best Interest
Many people assume their insurance company is on their side, but insurers prioritize minimizing payouts over their insured’s best interests. Speaking to them without legal advice can lead to misstatements that hurt your claim or result in a lower settlement than you deserve. Always consult an attorney to understand your rights first.
2. Failing to Seek Timely Medical Attention for Injuries After a Car Accident
After a car accident, some injuries may not be immediately apparent due to adrenaline masking pain. Additionally, timely medical treatment establishes a clear link between the accident and your injuries, which is crucial for any potential injury claim. Insurance companies may question the severity or cause of injuries if there’s a significant delay in treatment.
3. Failing to Secure Evidence at the Scene
Without proper evidence, proving fault becomes harder. Always take photos of vehicle damage, and license plates. Collect witness statements, ask nearby surveillance footage, and get the at-fault driver’s insurance and license details. This documentation strengthens your claim and protects you from false accusations. Having a dash cam is always a good idea ..
