If the automobile accident was my fault, should I admit it?

Do not volunteer the information that you believe the automobile accident was your fault. Before you admit fault, speak to an attorney and your insurance company. Any statement of wrongdoing you make to the police or the other driver may be used against you in the future. Do not sign anything until you have consulted with an attorney, but do cooperate fully with the police.

Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance company?

Never, ever talk to the other driver's insurance company about your automobile accident. You will live to regret it if you do. If the other driver’s insurance company tries to contact you, politely decline to speak to them. The claims adjusters employed by insurance companies are highly skilled and professionally trained negotiators with experience in using specific techniques to get you to give then information that can hurt your claim. The first thing they will tell you is you do not need a lawyer representing you. However, having an attorney who has your best interests, and only your best interests in mind, is the only way to ensure you are treated honestly and fairly.
