3 Ways to Protect Your Claim after a Car Accident

Even if you think it is obvious you were not at fault for the accident, following these 3 rules post-accident will help keep anyone from discounting your claim: 

• Be honest. This means honesty with the doctor and sharing any previous injuries you have sustained, along with honesty with your lawyer. Don't try to exaggerate anything surrounding your car accident.
• Show up for all of your medical appointments, whether it is with your doctor or physical therapist. Even if you feel better, don't miss an appointment. 
• Do not sign anything without first talking to an attorney. By allowing a recorded statement, you may be providing information that will be used against you. If you sign a medical release authorization form, the insurance company may try to use past injuries against you. 

There are other things the insurance company may use against you in your Louisiana car accident claim. After a car accident, seek a Louisiana attorney who can help you. They can provide you with accident information that helps to protect your rights.
