Do you know what to do if are involved in a Bowling Green, Ohio car accident?
Here are the TOP 10 Steps to Take After an Accident:
1. Seek treatment immediately - Go to the doctor or ER and get checked out right away.
2. Don't rush to settle your claim - An offer of a few thousand dollars right now will not help you pay your medical bills later.
3. Don't underestimate the insurance adjuster - The insurance adjustors settle claims for a living, and they do not have your best interest in mind. They only want to save their company money.
4. Don't provide a statement to the adjuster - You never know when what you say to an adjustor will be held against you. talk to a lawyer before talking with the insurance company.
5. Don't sign medical authorization forms - Do not allow the insurance company access to medical records that have nothing to do with your car accident injury.
6. Document everything - Make sure to keep all police reports, bills, records, witness statements, off-work slips, and other documents related to your case.
7. Honesty is the best policy - Don't get caught in a lie - it can destroy your case later.
8. Don't hide information from your lawyer - Your lawyer can help you work through any tough situation as long as you let them know about it. Don't let the insurance company find out something bad before your lawyer does.
9. Don't exaggerate your injuries - If you are caught by a private investigator doing an activity you claim to not be able to do, your compensation could be jeopardized.
10. Hire a personal injury lawyer - Insurance companies employ professionals who deal with personal injury cases every day. Shouldn't you?
