Never refused, disregard, or fail to maintain your injury treatment or doctor’s advice, it helps insurance companies shift the blame for your injuries to you and not the accident.
What else?
Assume your insurance company is monitoring your social media. If you are receiving insurance for a back injury and post pictures of you jogging, you’re helping them build a case against you. Further to that, never lie or exaggerate. If the insurance company can show you to be untruthful, they’ll try to bring everything into question.
Is there any one common mistake people make?
Trying to deal with their insurance company by yourself. Insurance company adjusters are very skilled at minimizing the amount of treatment money you receive for injuries. Without a lawyer representing your best interest you likely won’t receive nearly as much money as you are entitled to.
