You should never lie about past claims and past injuries. People have outdated ideas about how the claims process works. When the insurance company asks people if they have been in an accident before, people sometimes say no – even though they have. They believe prior injuries are in the past and none of the insurance companies business. If prior injuries are from a claim, the insurance company will know about them. Always be truthful. There are often medical explanations for why pre-existing injuries that were not symptomatic were aggravated by an auto accident. Not being truthful can decrease the value of your claim.
