THINGS TO AVOID DOING, If you are involved in a vehicle accident:
- * Do not give any statements to your insurance claims representative, as these statements can and will often be used against you should the case go to trial
- * Do not make any statements as to the causes of liability to anyone who may be a potential witness to your claims, often these individuals may be asked to testify on behalf of the defense. These statements also include statements to medical providers, EMS personnel or your employer.
- * Do not avoid obtaining proper medical treatment if you suffer an injury, since your damages in part are determined by the treatment and expenses associated with your claim. Should you need medical treatment, and do not have medical insurance, an experienced attorney can explore avenues to assist in obtaining necessary medical care.
- * Do not sign any releases of information to the at-fault insurance carrier, so as to permit them to obtain information regarding your past medical history, wage information or prior accident history.
