Top Six Things To Avoid Doing After A Car Crash
If you find yourself in a car accident, there are a few things you can avoid doing that can help keep yourself and others safe, and can help protect your claim with the insurance company.
- Don’t move an injured person. Call an ambulance and help them stay calm while you wait for help.
- Do not accept money. If you accept money, you may forfeit your right to an insurance claim – even if the money accepted doesn’t cover the damages.
- Keep the accident private and don’t post about it on social media. Sharing details and photos on social media may inadvertently harm your case if the wrong people see the information.
- Never apologize for a crash. This will be taken as admitting fault and can really hurt your claim.
- Refrain from sharing policy limits with the other party. Trade only generic information – policy carrier, number, and drivers license number.
- Never agree to “forget about it.” Report the accident to your insurance and the other insurance company. This will protect you if the other person later decides to file a claim against you.
