Motor Vehicle Accidents & Protecting Your Rights

You do not have to (and should not) give a recorded interview to or statement for the other party’s insurance company.

You should not guess about any facts surrounding the auto accident, such as the speeds of vehicles, the exact location of vehicles, the distances traveled by any vehicles, or the length of time between any two events.

You should preserve as much evidence as you can, including photographs of the motor vehicle accident scene, the vehicles involved, the parties involved, and any visible injuries; repair estimates and billing statements, car rental expenses, and any statements signed by the other party or by witnesses.

You should not sign any releases for medical records until you speak with an accident lawyer. These medical records release forms usually give the insurer full access to all of your medical records and allow them to communicate with your health-care providers. Even the medical release forms that your own insurer might ask you to sign can be broader than is necessary and can affect your rights.

You should not consider settling your injury claim until after you are fully recovered from your injuries and you are back to doing all of your regular activities without any restrictions or limitations. Of course, there is a statute of limitations that will apply to any injury claim and you will need to resolve your claim before that expires.

Even when you are presenting an uninsured motorist claim to your own insurer, you should be extremely careful. While your insurer owes you a duty of good faith and fair dealing, many insurers will push the limits of what is best for them at your expense.
