LIE. Even a small lie can damage your credibility.The best policy is to always tell the truth in your case, whether you are talking to the insurance company, your lawyer, in a deposition or in Court. If you always tell the truth then you will never have to worry about what you said, your credibility is very important. 2
HIDE PAST ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES FROM YOUR ATTORNEY.Along with telling your lawyer the truth, be up front and honest with your lawyer about injuries or accidents that you may have been involved in the past. If you have had prior injuries and have been in other accidents, your lawyer can investigate this and make a determination as to whether this is a valid problem or not. Your lawyer cannot help you with what he/she does not know. Should you decide to not tell your lawyer and you misrepresent your medical and accident history, you can severely damage your case. 3
STOP TREATING WHEN YOU ARE STILL HAVING PROBLEMS.If you are still having medical problems, it is important that you regularly see your doctors as they recommend. Failing to see a physician regularly is considered evidence that you have fully recovered to the insurance company and eventually, perhaps to a judge or jury. While you should not go to the doctor every day, you need to see your doctors and tell them if you are still having problems. If your doctor says “follow-up as needed”, that means to come back in a few weeks if you are still having problems. If you do not return to see the doctor, then in the eyes of the doctor, insurance company and judge you were no longer having problems and made a full recovery Additional ResourcesFor more information and a Free book about Iowa motorcycle accidents go to http://www.MotorcycleAccidentBook.com or Call Now (800)-707-2552, ext. 215 (24 Hour Recorded Message).
