Most people know the basics of what to do if they are in a car crash, including exchanging information with the other driver. But what happens if you are injured in a multi-vehicle accident? What steps do you take then? It is important to attend to any medical emergencies after the crash, just as you would…
Insurance company representatives will definitely demand proof that a crash occurred, that injuries requiring medical treatment resulted directly from the crash and that you were not responsible for causing the crash.
As the CDC notes, “Sending or reading a text message takes your eyes off the road for about 5 seconds, long enough to cover a football field while driving at 55 mph.”
Clients ask this all the time. The truth is that no matter what setting you have on your Facebook profile, there are ways to view your profile and many insurance company’s employ people to do just that. They scour the internet for your cyber footprint. If you have pictures of yourself lifting boxes or at the gym but are claiming to be permanently disabled from a car wreck, you lose a lot of credibility. In general, it is best to keep some matters private, such as lawsuits and injuries. Don’t risk your case by doing something foolish. Keep your thoughts and information about your injury to yourself and your lawyer.
