What Can You Do When Someone Lies on a Car
Accident Report?

Being hurt in an accident can turn your life
upside down. Its particularly stressful when you
did nothing to cause the accident yourself. If
the at-fault party misrepresents the truth (or
even outright lies) when giving their version of
events for the accident report, it certainly adds
insult to injury. But as long as you have
evidence to back up your recollection of the
events that occurred, the truth will usually be
uncovered. It is not unusual for people who are
involved in serious car accidents to make false
statements about how the accident happened. This
is a common avoidance technique that is used to
negate financial and sometimes even criminal
consequences if they are found to be the cause of
the accident.

DOCUMENTING YOUR CAR ACCIDENT

• If possible, when you are involved in an
  accident, collect evidence of the accident or ask
  someone else to do so. You need to be able to
  show what actually happened.
• Be sure to ask bystanders or witnesses if they
  can make their own statements to police
  responding to the scene and try to get their
  contact information.
• Use your phones camera to snap photos of the
  scene and damage to your vehicle or person. Look
  for any signs of intoxication by other drivers
  involved in the accident, and jot down notes to
  help you remember what you see.

ALWAYS GET A POLICE REPORT

• Even if you dont feel like you are hurt
  initially, your injuries may be revealed only
  weeks or even months later. A police report is a
  vital part of the process of determining fault in
  a crash.
• Never admit to fault yourself but be sure to
  speak up and let the police know who you believe
  to be responsible and why. This can help protect
  you in the future if it turns out the other party
  lied to the police.

CONTACT YOUR INSURER

• As soon as you can after your accident, call your
  insurer and let them know about the accident.
  Tell them everything that you remember and let
  them know what you told the police.
• Your insurance company will at least initially be
  on your side since they hope to avoid paying out
  for any damages.

SPEAK WITH AN EXPERIENCED ATTORNEY

• It is important, especially for a serious
  accident, that you retain the help of an
  aggressive attorney with a history of going to
  bat for accident victims. Contact a Los Angeles
