QUESTION: Do you have any tips for what I should do for my case?
ANSWER: Yes. (Disclaimer Below)
There are certain actions that can help (and hurt) your case. Our recommendations are:
1. Follow Your Doctors Recommendations
Some people try to "tough it out" and ignore their injuries. Don't do this - if your doctor says you need treatment, get it. Many times you will not pay out of pocket costs for your treatment (talk to your healthcare provider about details).
2. Don't Post On Social Media
Social Media can potentially ruin your case.
If you are supposed to be seriously injured, but you are posting pictures of you on vacation (even if the vacation happened before the accident) that information could be used against you.
Turn social media off until your case is completed.
3. Share Your Full Case History
Even if you had prior injuries, you can still be eligible for compensation, as a new accident could make those previous injuries worse.
Share your full case history with your attorney, so they can get you the compensation you deserve.
4. Don't Talk To At-Fault Insurance
Many times the at-fault insurance company will contact you, or ask you to contact them. Anything you say CAN and WILL be used against you. They are trained professionals designed to get you to say things that are not in the best interest of your case. You have no obligation to speak with them.
