From the moment you get into a fender-bender, there are several common mistakes you must be careful to avoid. These mistakes could ruin your case but an experienced auto accident attorney in Springfield, IL, can help you successfully navigate these potential pitfalls. Lying It goes without saying that lying is disastrous for your case, especially under oath. This includes providing false information on paperwork, false witness, and forgery. If you are caught lying, the other party could counter-sue, depending on the severity of the lie. Social Media In recent years, checking a person’s social media accounts has become the new norm during an investigation. The defense attorney will be looking for incriminating photos and posts that would imply impairment before the accident or that you are not as injured as you say you are. Most attorneys say that it is just easier to say off of social media until the case is closed. Talking About the Case Never talk to anyone from the defense, including insurance adjusters, other lawyers, and even jurors. Direct them to contact your lawyer if they have any questions. Keep record of phone calls, emails, text messages, and voicemails, and inform your lawyer when you received digital correspondence. Signing Your Rights Away Don’t sign anything until you’ve spoken to your lawyer. The fine print is what kills most cases even in simple forms like mini-tort releases. Always read everything you received and confer with your lawyer before you do anything. Not Being Alert Be mindful of how you conduct yourself during a case. It is not uncommon for the other party’s insurance agency or lawyer to hire a private investigator to keep tabs on you during the process. Therefore, be mindful of where you go, who goes with you, and when, in case it comes up in court. With these tips and an experienced auto accident attorney in Springfield, IL, your case should go easier.
