Use caution when discussing your accident
When you are hurt, your top priority is to make sure you and your passengers are ok, and, if not, get medical attention. Still, lots of people want to ask you questions immediately after an accident. Take care in what you say and how you say it.
- Police officers. If there has been an accident, you should call the police. A police report is crucial for both your insurance claim and your possible personal injury claim. Tell the responding officer what happened as clearly and factually as possible. Do not admit fault or make accusations.
- Medical personnel. Answer all questions from emergency medical responders about your physical condition. Though you may be very upset and want to talk at length about the accident, resist the impulse. If you blurt out an admission of fault to an EMT, that individual could be called to testify in a hearing or trial and impact your personal injury claim.
- Witnesses. If you are well enough to do so, get contact information from every witness on the scene. In an auto accident, get the other driver's insurance information. Do not discuss fault with the other driver, even if you are being provoked.
- Insurance agents. You must report your accident to your insurance company promptly. Any delay on your part can be used as an excuse for the insurance company to delay or avoid paying your claim. All you need to do is call your insurer and state the facts of what happened. Answer the agent's questions. Make a record of the names, job titles, and phone numbers of any representatives you speak with. Note what you discussed and what the representative promised to do.
