Stretching the Truth in Medical Losses can Hurt Your Credibility
Should you fall victim to a car accident, you are fully entitled to seek fair compensation for your medical bills and other expenses. In doing so, experienced Hawthorne accident injury lawyers urge their clients never to exaggerate medical losses, for this can seriously damage one's credibility. You should also never add a previous medical condition with injuries you sustained in the accident in question. This, likewise, can severely damage your credibility and impair your chances for claims recovery. Mixing previous and current injuries or exaggerating medical conditions and injuries are just what claims adjusters and/or defense attorneys look for. And once discovered, they will dismiss anything you say about your injuries and treatment, and negotiating a settlement will prove very difficult. Most often, your case will move directly to trial before you have the chance to negotiate a fair recovery.
Many car collision lawyers also suggest you keep a written log of medical expenses that relate directly to your current car accident. This will be useful when it comes time to negotiate a settlement.
