There are many misconceptions about car accidents that could prevent you from getting the financial compensation you deserve. If you have recently been in an accident, it is important to separate the facts from the false beliefs.
MYTH #1: You cannot make a claim against the other driver if you were partially at fault for the accident. In California, for example, fault can be distributed between both parties and you may be entitled to file a claim for compensation.
MYTH #2: Your insurance company’s offer will be the best offer you can get. When it comes to offering compensation, they will most likely offer very little compensation relative to your true damages. That, not to mention the intentional delays.
MYTH #3: You cannot claim injuries that arise after the initial trauma of the accident. After an accident, no matter how minor, the body can go into shock, which in turn hides the symptoms of an injury. For example, a concussion can commonly present symptoms long after the accident.
MYTH #4: The police will prove who was at fault, so you don’t have to worry. If the police go to the scene they must write an accident report. But, if the investigation is minimal, the other driver’s insurance company may deny your claim because there is not enough objective evidence to show that you were not at fault.
MYTH #5: Lawyers are not worth the cost of helping you file an accident claim. At Unidos Legales, San Fernando Valley Accident Lawyers, we will not charge you anything until you have won your case.
