WHAT NOT TO DO ON SOCIAL MEDIA AFTER AN ACCIDENT

The old cardinal rule holds true: “If it is posted on the internet, it is on there forever.” This absolutely holds true for social media. Social media is everywhere.

HAVE YOU SUFFERED WHIPLASH DUE TO AN AUTO ACCIDENT?

Posted by Nicolette Nicoletti

in Automobile Accidents

Sadly, during an auto accident, injuries are common. This is especially true for the neck and back. One common neck injury is known as whiplash. “The jolt (or blow to the head) can come from behind, in front, or from the side [and] [e]ven a low-speed collision can cause whiplash.” Pain from whiplash sometimes does not show up right away. It may take between 12-24 hours or longer from the occurrence of an accident before symptoms arise. How does whiplash occur?

After an accident, the insurance company will surely ask for a recorded statement. Now, this may seem simple enough.

The #1 Rule To Follow After Getting Into An Accident

Posted by Nicolette Nicoletti

in Automobile Accidents

We are all human. We all have a habit of wanting to share information with others. It is human nature. But, that goes completely against the #1 rule to follow after getting into an accident. That rule is: “Do NOT talk about the accident.” It does not matter what type of accident it is. Unless it is with an attorney or a medical professional, keep your comments about the accident to yourself. Now, that may seem harsh. You want to tell your friends and family you are okay and you want them to know that you are not hurt. Therefore, if...

What is Uninsured Motorist Coverage & Why Should You Have It?

Posted by Nicolette Nicoletti

in Automobile Accidents

It’s a beautiful day and you’re driving home from work. While merging onto the interstate, a car fails to yield and “side swipes” your vehicle. You just got into a car accident. You may be injured, possibly severely. Soon after, you find out that the driver that hit you has no insurance coverage. You wonder to yourself, “What am I supposed to do now?” You first rely on your PIP (Personally Injury Protection) coverage which gives you up to $10,000 in coverage but due to your injuries, that quickly runs out. You may be able to get coverage through your personal...
