It Felt Like My Fault, So I Let It Go — Is It Really Over?

Something we hear all the time

"I figured it was my fault, so I just let it go." After a car accident, a lot of people tell us exactly this — and they move on without taking any action at all.

How it feels is not always how it ends

In reality, the situation often turns out differently than it felt in the moment. The other car's speed, the timing of who entered when, and where exactly the crash happened can all change the result. Your feeling and the actual outcome can be two different things.

It may not actually be over

Even when everything seems settled, it may not be. If any part of your situation still nags at you, there may be something left worth checking. More cases than you would expect get a second look — and start moving again.
