It is only natural to panic after a serious traffic collision, but you don’t want to make these common mistakes that could end up being very costly:

1) Being cavalier with your words or social media presence. These days, some plaintiffs inadvertently harm their chances of fair compensation by posting pictures of themselves on social media accounts. Even something as innocent as a picture of yourself at a barbecue can be misconstrued and can be used against you. Some casual remark that you make can also harm your case. In this day and age, it is important to speak with a personal injury attorney in Pembroke Pines or your community about your potential case and your social media presence. If you decide to pursue compensation you need to be cautious about what you say to ensure that you have a fair chance of compensation for your injuries.

2) Not taking the accident seriously. Some people are tempted to wave off what they see as a minor car crash. In some cases, they may not even report an accident, on the advice of the other driver. This can be very costly mistake. In some cases, fraudsters use these situations in order to report an alleged hit and run accident and then pursue the innocent drivers in court. In other cases, what seems initially to be a minor car collision ends up causing severe injuries, such as head injuries or back injuries. If the accident has not been reported correctly, it can be difficult for the injured party get fair compensation. It is important to always report every car accident promptly and to always exchange contact information with the other driver, even if you consider the accident very minor.

3) Accepting the first insurance or settlement offer. Your insurance company will want to settle things quickly and for as little money as possible. If you are being made a settlement offer by a third party, that is usually an indication that you may have a large legal claim. In both cases, it is important to carefully evaluate the total cost of your injuries and the likely future cost of your injuries, lost wages, and more. Accepting the first offer can mean that eventually the money runs out and you face financial distress while you are still trying to recover from your injuries.
