You probably still have rights to compensation, so speak to a lawyer right away. After an accident, it’s normal to overanalyze. Many people have a natural instinct to apologize or accept some of the blame after an accident. Resist this urge. What you tell others about your preventable injury could affect your legal rights more than the facts themselves. You may find that even if you feel like you could have prevented your own injury, in fact your actions played little or no role.
