4 Common Mistakes to Avoid After an Accident
Avoid Gaps in Medical Treatment: A sure way to cause problems with your case is to miss appointments with doctors or medical providers. The records will reflect that you did not show up and will cause the insurance company, and possibly a jury, to look negatively on your case. If you do not have a ride or cannot otherwise make an appointment, you must call ahead and explain to the provider that you need to reschedule and why.
Follow your doctor’s instructions. You need to follow every instruction that your doctor gives you. If you are given restrictions or are told not to engage in certain activities, you need to adhere to those restrictions. If there is any evidence that you did not follow your doctor’s orders, the insurance company will use it against you.
Do not provide your insurance company authorization to contact your doctors. You should not sign a medical authorization for the insurance company to get your medical records or allow them to contact your medical providers. They could also use the authorization to request documentation that has nothing to do with your injuries from the collision. They also could contact your doctor and discuss your case without you present.
Hire an attorney who focuses on helping people who are injured. There are many attorneys out there. Some focus their practices on one specific area of law, while others have more of a general practice and handle cases in all areas. Some attorneys mistakenly believe that they can take a personal injury case and get a quick settlement. Quick settlements are not the norm in personal injury cases. You want an attorney who is going to prepare your case to go to trial in case that is what is necessary.
