A quick “I’m sorry” may feel polite after a crash, but it could be interpreted as accepting responsibility before all the facts are known.
In the confusion after a crash, you may not have seen every vehicle, road condition, signal, or action that contributed to what happened. Stay calm, check for injuries, contact first responders, document the scene, exchange the required information, and if you can, describe the facts accurately without guessing or assigning blame.
Statements made at the scene may later be reviewed by insurance carriers when evaluating the claim.
