This is a very similar mistake to number 3 but in the context of a fall accident. Being rude is not going to help your cause to get fair compensation! If you are able, it is important to report the accident. Often times, the claim experience that you are going to have following an accident will be markedly different if the manager of the store expresses sorrow for the accident and feels bad for the person who is injured. All things equal, if a manager calls and reports that the injured person was rude and unruly, the claim process may take a completely different path. It is questionable about whether this sort of evidence would be allowed by a judge into evidence, but certainly if such evidence did come into play, this may be something the jury would not look at in a favorable light.
