A GUIDE TO DOING IT WRONG OPPOSITE DAY CRASH ADVICE
Terrible Idea No. 3: Share your entire recovery on social media. Post the gym selfies, beach photos, and big smiles, and use captions like “Feeling great!” Don’t worry. Context is overrated. Rather than feeding the internet details, keep your case off social media. Avoid posting about the crash, your injuries, your activities, and your recovery. Tighten your privacy settings, ask friends not to tag you, and don’t comment on crash-related posts. Terrible Idea No. 4: Take your time documenting things. Memories never fade, evidence never disappears, and deadlines are basically suggestions. Wait until your car is repaired and the bruises are gone before you start gathering anything. Instead, start early and stay organized. Take photos, save paperwork, keep receipts, and write down what you remember while it’s fresh (including dates and names). If you miss work, keep track of days and hours. Small details matter a lot more than people think. Opposite Day is fun, but car accidents aren’t. If you’ve been hurt and aren’t sure what to do next, my team and I are here to help.
Jan. 25 is Opposite Day, so for one day, bad ideas get the microphone. In that spirit, I want to share a few pieces of advice you should never follow, along with what you should do instead. Terrible Idea No. 1: Skip uninsured motorist coverage. Sure, Florida has plenty of uninsured drivers, but what are the odds you will actually meet one? And if you do, I’m sure they will Venmo you for your injuries. That extra $10–$20 a month is clearly better spent on other things. Instead, check your policy. If you don’t see uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, or you aren’t sure what your limits are, ask your agent. This coverage is often what protects you when an at-fault driver has little or no insurance. Terrible Idea No. 2: Wait to see a doctor ‘if it gets worse.’ If you’re hurt, just walk it off. It’s probably nothing. If it still hurts in a few weeks, that just means you are tough. Many injuries show up later, and early treatment creates a clear record that connects your symptoms to the crash. So, always get checked out promptly, even if you’re not sure what you’re feeling yet.
