First of all, don’t say anything that might indicate that the accident was your fault – like “I should have used my turn signal.” By all means, don’t apologize, even just to be polite. Don’t post anything about your accident on social media between the accident and the time that you receive a verdict or settlement. In fact, it would be a good idea to refrain from using social media altogether. This is because insurance companies will scour any information they find there for evidence that the accident was your fault or that your injuries aren’t as serious as you are claiming.
