If you have been involved in an Angleton motorcycle accident there are many traps along your way to recovering from your injuries. First, of course you have the physical injuries that you must work with your doctors to recover from. You must also worry about the medical bills that are piling up and the paychecks you are not getting from work. There is no doubt a lot of anxiety and worry. Despite that, you must be careful not to make the following four mistakes that will simply wreck your motorcycle case.
1. Giving a recorded statement to the insurance adjustor. The insurance company adjustor is not on your side. No matter how nice they seem or how much they tell you they will take care of you, they will try to wreck your case. Don’t fall for it. Don’t be a victim twice.
2. Signing the forms the insurance adjustor sends to you. These are overly broad forms that will be used to get every medical record you have for your entire life and to get private personnel files from your employers. Just like you are under no legal duty to give a recorded statement you don’t have to legally sign these forms.
3. Not getting immediate healthcare and then failing to follow your doctor’s instructions. If you are hurt you need to seek immediate healthcare at the hospital or from your doctor. After doing so, follow all instructions. That means, go to every follow-up, take the medication prescribed and go to the prescribed therapy sessions.
4. Not telling your doctor about all your injuries. Tell the doctor everything, no matter how small the injury may seem at the time. Maybe the worst pain is in your neck and your lower back is only mildly uncomfortable. During the days after the accident the lower back may become much worse. If you didn’t tell the doctor about the lower back originally the insurance company is going to accuse you of making up the injury. Tell your doctor everything.
