5 Things to Never Tell Your Insurance Company after an Accident

Dealing with insurance companies after a car accident can sometimes be a very complicated and drawn out process. Insurance companies will determine who pays for what damages as well as how much. It is important that you be careful with what you say to insurance providers after an accident, especially if you suffer an injury. What you say can greatly affect how much you may pay or receive in compensation.

What Not to Say

If you are involved in a car accident, be sure to avoid saying any of the following to an insurance provider:

1. “In my opinion, I believe…”

Don’t guess or estimate anything. Even if you know approximately how fast you were going or any other information, do not make any estimations.

2. “It was my fault.”

Taking blame can ruin any chance for compensation from your insurer as well as in a personal injury case.

3. “It’s okay, I’m not hurt.”

You may not notice injuries right away. For example, injuries like internal bleeding, bruising, or whiplash may develop hours or even days after the accident.

4. Your family, friends, or doctor’s contact information

You are not required to provide any additional contact information, even if they ask. All communication should go between policy holder and insurer.

5. “I don’t have a lawyer.”

If you say that you do not have any legal representation, your insurance provider may not take your case as seriously as they would if you had representation on your side.
