Things You Can After Giving a Statement Prematurely
When you’re in an accident, it can be tempting to just answer questions from the insurance companies and immediately give a statement to get the matter settled. But in doing so, you could end up giving away any advantage you have.
Fortunately, there are still some actions you can take to protect yourself. The first thing you need to do is get a copy of the statement you gave to your insurance company.
Once you have read through and reviewed your statement, ask yourself whether it accurately reflects what happened or whether there are any mistakes that need correcting. If so, take advantage of a free consultation with our lawyers before making any changes.
Remember that not all car wrecks result in liability being assigned to someone else. If this is the case with your claim, then your lawyers may inform you that nothing more needs to be done.
How Your Accident Statement Determines Fault
When determining fault in a car accident, the insurance companies rely on your statement.
If you say that you were rear-ended by another driver, then they will look for other evidence to support that claim. If there is no damage to the back of your car but you say that there was an impact, then the insurance company may not believe you.
It’s to their advantage to determine who is at fault and to make sure they pay out the smallest amount of money possible.
They can’t do this without your statement because they don’t have any witnesses or footage of what happened. They need your help in order to determine who is at fault and how much money should be paid out to each party involved. That’s why what you say and do is so important.
