Motor Vehicle Auto Accidents
Generally speaking when one is in an accident involving a motor vehicle, there are certain rules of thumb to follow:
- Do not give a recorded or written statement.
- Take pictures. Take photographs of the property damage and have them developed at once. Do not use a Polaroid.
- Do Not Sign Anything Without a Lawyer Reviewing it for You, First!
- Do not discuss any matters concerning your injuries with the at-fault insurance company. You are under no obligation to give this information and should discuss nothing but the damage to your car and the need for a rental car or “loss of use” compensation. Beware of the clever insurance adjuster.
