Myth vs. Fact in Personal Injury

Personal injury law can feel like a complicated maze; unfortunately, plenty of myths and misconceptions get in the way. “If I post that photo online, it will ruin my claim.” “If I am 1% at fault for my accident, I get nothing.” “Doctors pick up the medical tab first.” We tackle these kinds of misunderstandings head-on in our Myth vs. Fact video series.

Each video starts with a widespread rumor or belief people repeat — often without thinking twice — then our legal team breaks it down. We want to help you learn how insurance companies really evaluate fault and injury, what types of compensation are allowed, and what happens when liability isn’t cut-and-dry. You’ll hear about how settlements are calculated, who pays what and when, and why even a small misstep can affect your claim.

We also examine subtle details often overlooked: how missing a medical appointment can complicate treatment documentation, when reporting an accident late could hurt your case, and why signing an insurance statement too early matters.

If you’ve ever thought, “It’s too expensive to hire a lawyer,” or “I thought insurance covers everything automatically,” these videos will help you separate myths from real legal outcomes.

In personal injury cases, acting on bad information can seriously impact your ability to recover what you are owed. This is why we made these videos: to clear up confusion before it causes problems, as each myth we debunk is rooted in actual questions our clients ask or mistakes we have seen in our practice. Whether you are in the middle of a claim or just want to be better informed, understanding how the system works puts you in a stronger position. When the facts are clear, you are better prepared to protect your rights and avoid decisions that cannot be undone.

That’s also why we encourage you to explore our Attorney Reacts series, where you can see real car accidents explained from a legal perspective. You might also find our Attorney Advice videos helpful, as they tackle the most common issues we see in personal injury cases and offer clear, practical takeaways to help you avoid critical missteps.
