Saying this equals admitting negligence

[00:00:00]Never say, "I didn't see you there."

[00:00:02]after a car accident, even if you didn't. Saying, "I didn't see you." is essentially confessing to negligent driving because drivers have a legal duty to see what's there to be seen. And admitting you failed in this basic responsibility makes you automatically liable for the accident. Even if there were contributing factors like sun glare, obstructed views, or the other driver's positioning, your admission that you didn't see them makes these factors irrelevant because you've accepted full responsibility for the collision. Insurance companies hate these statements because they make cases impossible to defend and often result in higher settlements than would otherwise be necessary.
