An accident is hard enough. These common mistakes can hurt your recovery and your claim.
1. Saying “I’m fine” at the scene Adrenaline hides many injuries. Say something like “I’m going to get checked out” instead of stating that nothing happened.
2. Not reporting the accident If there are injuries or significant damage, call the police so there is an official report.
3. Waiting to see a doctor The longer you wait, the harder it is to connect your symptoms to the accident, and the longer your body goes untreated.
4. Giving long statements to the other party’s insurer That insurance company works for its customer, not for you. Before giving detailed statements, get informed and consider consulting a professional.
5. Stopping treatment halfway If you feel better and quit your plan, the injury may not heal properly. Follow your doctor’s instructions.
