Not Seeking Medical Attention: Failing to get checked by a doctor can lead to unnoticed injuries or complicate future claims.
Admitting Fault: Apologizing or admitting fault at the scene can be used against you later, even if you’re not fully aware of the circumstances.
Not Documenting the Accident: Neglecting to take photos or gather information from the scene can hurt your ability to prove your case.
Ignoring Legal Advice: Not consulting with a lawyer can result in missing out on potential compensation or making decisions that could harm your case.
Settling Too Quickly: Accepting a quick settlement offer from insurance companies can mean receiving less compensation than you’re entitled to.
Failing to Report the Accident: Not informing your insurance company or the authorities can lead to complications with your claim.
Continuing to Drive: Driving with a vehicle that is damaged or unsafe can lead to further issues or additional accidents.
