5 Mistakes to Avoid When Dealing With Insurance Companies

After an accident, the insurance company is not on your side — its goal is to pay as little as possible. Avoid these mistakes.

1. Giving a recorded statement too soon

Anything you say can be used to reduce your payout. You are not required to give a recorded statement before speaking with a lawyer.

2. Accepting the first offer

Early offers are often far below what a claim is worth. Once you accept, the case is usually closed.

3. Downplaying your injuries

Saying “I’m fine” can be used against you later. Let doctors document your condition.

4. Posting on social media

Photos and posts can be taken out of context to argue you are not really hurt.

5. Not talking to a lawyer
