Top Mistakes to Avoid After a Car Accident in 2025
February 10, 2025 - Car Accidents
Car accidents are overwhelming, but what you do next can significantly impact your injury claim. Here are common mistakes to avoid:
- Admitting Fault: Even if you think you contributed to the accident, avoid saying so. Fault determination involves multiple factors, and premature admissions can harm your case.
- Not Seeking Medical Attention: Even minor injuries can worsen over time. Immediate medical care documents your injuries and strengthens your claim.
- Failing to Gather Evidence: Take photos, get witness statements, and document everything. Lack of evidence makes it harder to prove your case.
- Talking to Insurance Companies Alone: Insurers often minimize payouts. Consulting a lawyer ensures you receive fair compensation.
- Accepting the First Settlement Offer: Early offers rarely cover all damages. A lawyer can negotiate for a better outcome.
