"...I was in an auto accident 3 years ago and I got a settlement. It was not as much as I should have received, but I got all I could. The one thing I learned is that since my major medical insurance paid my medical bills, they had a lien on my settlement. If I had not taken the person to court that was at fault, my major medical insurance company would have gotten the settlement instead of me."

This list details the common mistakes accident victims often make following an accident and what you should look out for.

1. Do not count on the other guy’s insurance company to look out for your best interest.
2. Do not discuss details of your personal medical history with anyone from an insurance company.
3. Do not give a recorded statement to the other guy’s insurance company without having your lawyer present.
4. Do not sign anything that might take away your legal rights.
5. Do not delay getting medical attention following an accident. Get checked out right away if there is any sign of injury.
6. Do not rely on an insurance company property damage adjuster. Get your own estimates of the cost to repair your vehicle from a reputable body shop.
7. Do not fall for pressure to make a quick settlement and do not be discouraged by delay. These are simply tactics that some insurance companies use.
8. Do not accept an injury settlement until your injuries are completely healed and you have been released from care by your doctor.
9. Do not tell an insurance adjuster how much money you would accept in settlement, or how much money you want, until you have discussed it with a lawyer.
10. Do not delay getting legal advice.
