Car accidents are stressful situations. Even in a minor crash your adrenaline is pumping from the sudden turn of events. After you've checked for injuries and called the police, follow these five steps to protect yourself.
Don't Apologize
This does go against human nature, at least for most people. But a simply apology can be interpreted as an admission of guilt. Be cordial and polite to the other driver, but steer clear of conversations regarding who is to blame for the accident.
If you have recently experienced an injury due to a slip or fall, you may have the right to sue for your injury. Unless it was completely your fault and you had ample warning of the nearby conditions, you are probably a good candidate for this type of lawsuit. While it may seem simple enough, it is actually a complex area of personal injury law and a lawyer is highly recommended.
