At Wilhite Law Firm, they aim to educate each and every person to know and understand his or her rights and the precautions they must follow in case they, in unfortunate fates, ever fall victim to any road accident.
Most laws and every insurance policy of Texas mandate reporting any and all accidents involving pronounced property damage to vehicles and/or minor or major injuries to any individuals inside your vehicle.
When the cops arrive, ensure that you keep your statements to the minimum and report exactly how the event occurred, carefully ensuring that you specifically DO NOT accept blame since you would be unsure if you have been the primary reason for the accident.
In case, the police arrive along with an insurance adjuster, do not narrate, comment, speak or reply to them, in your current physical condition. Foremost, always remember that no insurance adjusters are concerned with your loss or pain, emotional condition, or fatality of a family member(s).
Their sole interest lies in foreshortening the liability of the insurance company as much as possible from paying what you deserve! They are driven to cut short any insurance claims pay-outs, without any consideration of getting you any full and fair compensation.
Therefore emphasizing furthermore, refrain from ever signing any release, authorization, or any paperwork, documents, or legal formalities for the insurance company of the party at fault, at the situation or elsewhere, until your lawyer has arrived or you have conveyed a message for them to arrive and assist you with the formalities.
Always have this hard-coded fact that most insurance adjusters will try to manipulate the evidence or statements to push the blame on you, being a common insurance company tactic across providers.
