Personal injury lawyers have a negative reputation in some circles. Commonly called “ambulance chasers” and other derogatory terms, these attorneys and their clients are sometimes viewed as a person out looking for a quick buck. While this isn’t the case in most instances, it is a relatively common perception. Therefore, it is important for an injured person to always tell the truth and remain as credible throughout the process. By being honest with your Detroit Personal Injury Attorney about the details of the accident, prior injuries, and all information that may be relevant to your case, you can be sure to protect this credibility.
It is natural for injured people to want to downplay any mitigating circumstances that could impact their case. For instance, a person may not have been wearing their seat belt at the time of the injury and they worry that this may cause them to lose any possibility of recovery. Fortunately, this is not the case. While it might cause a jury to assign some blame to you, it will not immediately prevent you from recovering damages.What will torpedo your claim even faster is lying or attempting to cover up certain facts. Once an insurance adjuster finds out that a person has lied, they will immediately begin playing hardball and will do everything possible to prevent you and your Detroit Personal Injury Attorney from recovering anything. If the case eventually goes to trial, they will point out this inconsistency and paint you as someone who just wants an easy paycheck and isn’t really hurt. A lawyer can deal with issues in the case, but losing credibility is extremely difficult to overcome. Therefore, always be honest about the facts of your case, lest you wind up significantly harming your chances of getting the money you need.At Davis Law Center, we fight to achieve the best possible results for your particular case. Even if there are certain factors that may be detrimental to your recovery, we will work to minimize their impact or exclude the jury from knowing about them entirely should they be irrelevant.
