Common Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Case

Common Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Case

If you’re injured and pursuing a claim in Kentucky or Tennessee, avoiding mistakes early can make all the difference. At RedStone Law, our attorneys (Mike, Morgan & Mark) bring decades of experience helping clients steer clear of the pitfalls insurance companies rely upon.

1. Not Seeking Medical Attention or Fully Documenting Injuries

Delaying treatment or failing to document injuries clearly gives an adjuster an excuse to down-value your claim. Your injury drives your case value — book the appointment, follow doctor instructions, and keep detailed records.

2. Posting on Social Media or Talking Too Much

Photos, posts, or off-hand remarks can be misconstrued. Insurance companies scan social media for signs that contradict your injury story. Avoid posting about your health or activities until your case is resolved.

3. Giving Statements or Signing Documents Without Legal Advice

Insurance adjusters will push for recorded statements and early releases. Don’t speak or sign anything without first consulting an experienced personal injury attorney.

4. Trying to Handle the Case Yourself

While you may feel capable, representing yourself against seasoned insurers is risky. Having attorneys like ours — with infrastructure, negotiation experience, and trial readiness — levels the playing field.
