Insurance companies love to talk about “accidents”, because that word implies that your injury was nobody’s fault. \u00a0Insurance company lawyers like to use the word “accident” because they hope the jury will start to believe that the “accident” was not anybody’s fault. \u00a0In reality, an “accident” is usually caused by someone who wasn’t paying attention.<\/p>\n

In casual conversation, we call them “accidents” too, because that’s how people talk. \u00a0But when we’re talking to a jury, or an insurance adjuster, we prefer to call them “car crashes” or “wrecks”, or “collisions”, because it turns out that, usually, they were<\/em> somebody’s fault. \u00a0When we are talking among friends, this language does not matter much. \u00a0But when we are in front of a jury, the choice of words can matter a lot. \u00a0If you have been in a collision, you might start noticing that you get the different reactions from people if you call it a “crash” than if you call it an “accident.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
