It can be difficult to know who to speak with in the minutes, days, and hours after a car accident. In addition, in the confusion following a crash, you may speak without thinking or say something you don’t mean which can end up hurting your case.
While it is important to speak with both the other drivers involved in your crash as well as the police officer who responds, be sure not to admit fault during these conversations or apologize. You may think you were at-fault, but later analysis could show that you both shared fault.
