They can also help you express what happened.<\/p>\n<h3>Review your materials<\/h3>\n<p>If you have documents or written notes, review them before the case. Familiarize yourself with them so you feel comfortable talking about them.<\/p>\n<h3>Get enough sleep the night before<\/h3>\n<p>Sleep helps your memory, your mood, and your clarity.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993300;\">During your car accident statement<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>Tell the truth<\/h3>\n<p>This is the most important rule. You may be required to testify under oath more than once. If you are telling the truth, your story will not change and there will be no inconsistencies. Always be as concise as possible.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tovarhastingslaw.com\/en\/juridical-services\/personal-injuries\/lesiones-personales\/\">personal injury in atlanta<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Keep calm<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking in front of the insurance company attorney and court reporter can be intimidating, no matter the circumstances! It doesn&#039;t help if the lawyer asking you questions becomes irascible or aggressive. No matter what happens, keep a clear and calm head and do your best to stay calm.<\/p>\n<h4>Ask for a break if you need it<\/h4>\n<p>If the car accident deposition is long, ask your attorney to request a break. This will give you a chance to go to the bathroom, have a drink or snack, and regroup.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tovarhastingslaw.com\/en\/servicios-juridicos\/lesiones-personales\/accidentes-de-auto\/lesion-de-auto\/\">car injuries in atlanta<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5>Be short and concise<\/h5>\n<p>Say everything you need, but don&#039;t say more. The lawyer asking the questions will want to obtain as much information as possible to use to his or her advantage. Answer questions but do not offer information. Remember, this is a fishing expedition, and the other side would like to paint a picture that benefits themselves, not you.<\/p>\n<h6>Avoid humor or vague sounds<\/h6>\n<p>It may be tempting to say something you think is funny while filing your car accident statement. Avoid this. What you consider funny can be misinterpreted as disrespect. Avoid excessive use of &quot;um&quot; or &quot;uh-huh&quot; or other similar filler sounds. Always use words. Say &quot;yes&quot; or &quot;no&quot; instead of nodding your head.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tovarhastingslaw.com\/en\/servicios-juridicos\/lesiones-personales\/accidentes-de-auto\/tipos-de-accidentes-de-coche\/\">Types of Car Accidents in Atlanta<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>never speculate<\/h4>\n<p>It&#039;s okay to say you don&#039;t know or aren&#039;t sure. Don&#039;t guess distances, vehicle colors or any other information.
