What Not to Say if You're in a Car Accident.

PHOENIX - March 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Accidents happen very suddenly and unexpectedly.  They can cause a surge of adrenaline, which could cause you to not feel the extent of any injuries you might have.  No matter how you feel after an accident, get medical attention immediately!  Again, you may feel "okay," but some injuries can take days to fully develop.  Additionally, initial symptoms of an injury can be very subtle; something that only a trained medical professional might identify.

What you say after an accident, whether it be to an insurance agent or the other people involved in the crash, can make a difference in an easy reimbursement for damages and a nightmare personal injury claim.  

If you are ever in an accident and you are able to walk and talk, here are some things you should avoid saying:

*I'm okay, I'm fine, or I'm not hurt
*I'm sorry, It was my fault
*I was in a hurry, I was on my cell phone, I was reaching for something, or I was tired

Any of the above statements can be taken by an insurance company as an admission of fault, in whole or in part, or as evidence to minimize your injuries.  Insurance companies are not in the business of handing out money; they want to keep every penny to add to their bottom line.  They will try to use any bit of information against you, so the less you say, the better.

If you hire a personal injury lawyer such as Clarke Law offices (http://www.clarkelawoffices.com) right away, you will maximize the possibility of getting the most compensation possible while lowering the risk of unintentionally hurting your claim.  

A personal injury attorney (http://www.clarkelawoffices.com) will talk to the insurance companies for you.  They can also help you find medical care and providers that will wait for payment.  Plus, an injury lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve.  Again, the insurance companies want to pay you as little as possible and clients that are represented by a personal injury attorney typically receive a lot more money for damages than those who aren't represented.
