The advice offered in the MSN article includes numerous helpful hints. If you have been in an auto accident, say as little as possible afterwards. Claims adjusters often use what you say in the heat of the moment after an accident to avoid paying customers a fair settlement. And if you have been injured, report your injuries. Another tip – avoid answering insurance adjusters’ “psychologically loaded questions.” These questions are designed to confuse you and make you say the wrong thing. And even though you may want a fast settlement, don’t rush. That’s exactly what many insurance companies want you to do so you’ll be willing to settle for far less than you deserve.

Auto accidents shouldn’t be a major financial burden. That’s why people have auto insurance. What people forget is insurance companies often don’t put their customer’s interests first. Insurance companies are focused on the bottom line.

The debate over whether older drivers are safe drivers has been topic of conversation for years. Nationally, the odds of getting in a fatal accident increase each year for drivers over 75 years old, according to statistics compiled by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). And reports about auto accidents involving elderly drivers routinely make the news. Recently, a 92-year-old Connecticut driver injured 10 people when he drove through an outdoor café in Stamford.

But drivers over 65 years old have some of the safest driving habits on the road, according to the CDC. They wear seatbelts more than younger drivers. They’re rarely involved in drunk driving accidents. And here’s another surprising statistic – children are twice as safe when their grandparents are driving instead of their parents. That’s the finding of a recent study written about in Time Magazine.
