But what you don\u2019t do in those critical moments can be just as important as what you do. David shares real-world advice on how simple missteps can cost you\u2014and how to protect your health, your case, and your future.First and foremost, never leave the scene of a slip and fall without taking photos. That defective condition\u2014whether it’s a broken step, uneven flooring, or wet surface\u2014might be repaired within hours. Without evidence, it becomes your word against theirs. A simple photo can make or break your claim.In car accidents, always contact the police and get a report filed. Too many people trust the other driver to “work it out” only to find themselves facing denial or blame later. That police report, especially New York’s MV-104 form, can be a key tool in proving fault early on.And perhaps the most common and costly mistake? Delaying medical care. Don\u2019t try to tough it out. Not only could you be risking your health, but you’re also giving the insurance company ammunition to say you weren\u2019t really hurt. Get checked out immediately, even if symptoms seem minor.Want more personalized guidance? Every case is unique, and the wrong move could impact your ability to recover compensation. That\u2019s why the experienced team at Kanner, Wolff, Nicastro & Hall is ready to review your case, develop a strategy, and defend your rights from day one.Call 716-848-8000 or click the link below to get started. Don\u2019t let one mistake give the insurance company an advantage\u2014let us protect your case, your health, and your future."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"What should I avoid doing after a personal injury accident?","item":"https:\/\/www.buffalolaw.com\/what-should-i-avoid-doing-after-a-personal-injury-accident-2\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
