Tips to maximize your recovery after an Ohio motorcycle accident Part 7

Honesty is the best policy.

Be honest when it comes to dealing with your injury claim. Be honest with the insurance adjuster, be honest with your doctor, and be honest with your lawyer. Nothing will kill your claim faster than being caught in a lie. Your credibility will be crucial in resolving your case, particularly if you have to go to trial.

If you're not in pain, don't get unnecessary medical treatment to drive up your bills. That doesn't mean you shouldn't follow your doctor's orders, but don't exaggerate the extent of your injuries. The truth eventually will come out, and when it does your case might become worthless. If your case goes to trial, your credibility with the jury carries tremendous value. If jurors feel you're not being honest, they won't give you the fair compensation you deserve.

You also have to be straight with your lawyer, who won't handle your case if he thinks you're lying. The attorney needs to know what's really happening with your case in order to represent you fairly and aggressively.
