3 Things Insurance Companies Use Against You After a California Car Accident
Featuring

What to expect
Think telling the truth to the insurance company protects you?
Think again.
The moment you report your accident claim, the insurance company starts looking for reasons to pay you LESS — not more.
Here are the 3 things they use against you:
⚠️ #1 — YOUR MEDICAL HISTORY
Had a prior injury years ago? They'll argue your pain isn't from the accident.
⚠️ #2 — YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA
That barbecue photo, gym check-in, or vacation post can be used to claim you're not as injured as you say.
⚠️ #3 — DELAYS IN TREATMENT
Waited a few days to see a doctor? They'll argue you weren't really hurt.
If liability isn't disputed, they're not looking for reasons NOT to pay — they're looking for reasons to pay you LESS.
What you do in the days and weeks after your accident can make or break your case.

"People think if they tell the truth, they have nothing to worry about when talking to the insurance company, but that's a total lie. The truth is, the second you report your accident claim to the insurance company, they start building their case against you. And they're looking for three main things you need to be aware of.
First, your medical history. Listen guys, if you've ever had a prior injury, even years ago, they're going to use that to try and argue your pain wasn't caused by the accident.
Second, your social media. That photo from the family barbecue, that gym check-in, that vacation post, they will try to use it to argue you're not as injured as you claim.
And third, delays in treatment. If you wait days or weeks to see a doctor, they'll argue you weren't really hurt, even if it was an innocent delay.
Here's what no one talks about. If liability is not disputed, the insurance company isn't going to be looking for reasons not to pay you. They're going to be looking for reasons to pay you less. That's why what you do in the days and weeks after an accident can have a major impact on your case.
