The Red Flags You Shouldn’t Ignore - On Valentine’s Day or After an Accident
Valentine’s Day is full of sweet gestures, romantic dinners, and maybe even a few cringeworthy l
ove confessions. But let’s be real - sometimes, love stories aren’t fairy tales. People stay in bad relationships for the same reasons they downplay injuries after an accident. They convince themselves everything is “fine,” even when the signs say otherwise.
If you've ever ignored a gut feeling about a toxic relationship, you know how that ends. The same goes for brushing off pain after a car accident, slip-and-fall, or other injuries. What seems minor at first can spiral into something much worse, making it harder to heal - physically, emotionally, and financially.
Red Flag #1: “It’s Not That Bad”
After an accident, adrenaline kicks in. You might walk away thinking, I’m fine. Just a little sore. Sound familiar? That’s the same energy people bring to bad relationships - convincing themselves things aren’t that bad when deep down, they know better.
The problem? Some injuries don’t show up right away. Concussions, internal bleeding, and soft tissue damage can take hours or even days to reveal themselves. By the time you realize something’s wrong, the damage might be worse - and insurance companies love using delays as an excuse to deny claims.
Don’t ignore the warning signs. If you’ve been in an accident, get checked out by a doctor. The sooner you document your injuries, the easier it is to build a case if you need to hold someone accountable.
Red Flag #2: “They Said They’d Take Care of It”
In bad relationships, empty promises sound convincing at first. Insurance companies use the same tactics. They act supportive, promise a “quick and fair” payout, and assure you they’ll handle everything. Then, the excuses start. They question your injuries, blame you for the accident, or disappear altogether. Before you know it, you’re left struggling with medical bills, lost wages, and a mountain of stress.
Here’s the truth: Insurance companies aren’t looking out for you. Their goal is to pay as little as possible. If they can convince you to settle for less, or nothing at all, they will.
This is where having an experienced personal injury lawyer changes everything. At Keller & Keller, we don’t let insurance companies get away with games. We fight to make sure you get the compensation you deserve.
Red Flag #3: “I Don’t Want to Make a Big Deal Out of It”
People stay quiet in bad relationships to avoid drama. They don’t want to “make a big deal” or seem like the bad guy. The same mindset keeps accident victims from getting the help they need.
But here’s the thing - speaking up isn’t overreacting. If someone else’s negligence caused your injuries, you have every right to take action. Medical bills, lost income, and long-term pain aren’t just inconveniences. They affect your future. And you deserve better.
