A common mistake personal injury victims make is failing to see a doctor as soon as possible.
Making untruthful statements about your injuries
One of the biggest mistakes a victim can make in a personal injury case is to lie about or exaggerate the extent of their injuries.
Failure to secure legal representation
That's one of the biggest mistakes you can make. It will cost you big time.
Speaking with insurance companies without legal representation
Insurance companies are mainly concerned with protecting their interests, meaning minimizing the compensation they pay out for personal injury claims. When one talks directly with an insurance company, they may inadvertently provide information that the insurance company can use to deny or reduce the value of their claim. Statements can be taken out of context or used against you in court.l
