3) There was no complaint of injury at the scene The investigating police officer will usually note if there were any injuries at the scene of an accident. Sometimes, they do not question everyone, or it will appear that everyone is okay. Frankly, after a collision, many people have high adrenaline levels and do not [...]
2) There was little or no property damage “How could you have been hurt when there was only a small scratch on the bumper?” The is a common reason carriers give for why their offer is low. However, from a treatment standpoint, it does not matter what the damage was to the car. The doctor [...]
