What Are Some of the Biggest Mistakes to Avoid After a Car Wreck in Winston-Salem?

Great question. We are sorry that you are in a situation where you have to ask it, but there are definitely things you should avoid doing after being injured in a car wreck.

1. Don’t refuse immediate medical care.
2. Don’t talk to an insurance adjuster or make a recorded statement without talking to an attorney first.
3. Don’t accept the first lowball offer the insurance company makes.
4. Don’t disregard the doctor’s follow-up treatment advice.
5. Don’t take a wait-and-see approach.

Does It Matter if I Am at Fault in the Car Wreck?

Yes, fault matters in car wrecks in Winston-Salem because North Carolina is a contributory negligence state. Contributory negligence means that your claim could be denied if you are found to have contributed to the accident in any way. Insurance companies sometimes try to lead accident victims into admitting some type of fault for the accident.

If you mistakenly admit to fault, even 1%, your claim could be denied. This is one of the main reasons why we advise you to consult with a car accident attorney in Winston-Salem before you talk to an insurance agent or adjuster.

This means that there are no upfront costs or hourly attorney’s fees, and we collect a percentage of any amount that we recover for you.² Since we don’t get paid unless you do, our incentive is to get our clients the best results we can, as quickly as we can.
