Things I wish I knew before dealing with insurance after my car accident

Getting into a car accident is already stressful enough but dealing with insurance afterward can feel like a second nightmare.

Your recorded statement can hurt you

Adjusters call within 24–48 hours asking for a recorded statement. Even innocent phrases like "I'm okay" can be used to minimize your claim later.

The first settlement offer is never the best one

Initial offers are designed to close your case fast and cheap. Once you sign, it's permanent.

Delays are a tactic, not a backlog

The longer you wait, the more likely you are to accept less.

Have you ever felt like your insurance company wasn't being straight with you after an accident?
