  1. Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Car Accident Claim If you or your known have been involved in a car accident, you will want to seek financial compensation. It will be for the damages sustained to your vehicle, lost wages, as well as medical expenses, and other related expenses that you may encounter along the way. Therefore, while filing a car accident claim, you need to take each step along the way very seriously. Otherwise, you’re likely to make a mistake that will cost you the money you need and deserve. If you have filed a claim, here are some of the most common mistakes made by car accident victims.

  2. Failing to Keep Doctor’s Appointments Even if you sustained only minor injuries in your car accident, always follow through with the doctor’s appointment. If you don’t, you are giving the reason to the driver’s insurance company to show that your injuries were not serious enough to merit compensation, or that perhaps you were faking your injuries.

  3. Lying about the Accident If you want to ensure your car accident claim will not be denied then don’t lie about the details of the accident. Tell everything to your lawyer the first time you discuss your case. In many situations, while this may have some bearing on the claim, your lawyer may still feel as if you have a very strong case. Therefore, always be truthful.

  4. Beware of Social Media Posts In all likelihood, the driver’s insurance adjusters may be monitoring your social media accounts to see what you are posting when the accident happens. Because of this, don’t post any photo that make it appear as you are not injured, and never post any fake statements about the accident that can be used against you.

  5. Don’t Sign Away Your Rights Most of the time you are contacted by the other driver’s insurance company, At that point of time never sign anything without first letting your car accident lawyer examine it in great detail. Sometimes the insurance company is simply trying to settle for a much smaller amount of money or get you to admit fault, so always be wary of these situations.
