After a car accident, many drivers fear talking to their insurance carrier. Here are some helpful tips for talking to your insurance provider after a car accident in order to avoid complications.

#1: Call a Lawyer! An experienced accident attorney can assist you in reporting your claim.

#2: Avoid assuming the blame for the accident. A common misstep is admitting fault. Even if you think you were to blame, there may be mitigating factors you have not considered. The fault of an accident is rarely a cut and dry determination.

#3: Stick to the facts. Answer all questions honestly, but carefully. After a car accident, many people forget certain specifics about the accident. Do not make up information or supply details that you are not sure of, instead give estimates. If your insurer asks to record your initial statement, you can refuse this request until you are sure of what you want to say.

#4: Make sure you get what you have been paying for! You paid premiums for a reason, make sure your insurance company is delivering what they promised. If you have medical claims don’t wait to seek medical attention. You have 14 days in Florida or your bills may be denied. Navigating your way through the insurance claim process can be intimidating and confusing, if you’ve been injured in a car accident, please contact our office for a free consultation at 772-283-2626.
