Resist the temptation to tell your side of the story in the heat of the moment after a dramatic event. Getting in touch with your attorney could save you thousands of dollars and many sleepless nights later. Sad, but unfortunately, likely true.
. Give name, ID, your lawyer's phone number and
admit no fault. Sort through the rest after you've calmed-down and spoken to your attorney.
Most people will try to give too much detail too quickly, and the officer may misinterpret things or not be able to accurate record everything you say. If it ever gets to court, opposing attorney will pounce on every opportunity to twist your words around or invalidate your testimony. It stinks, but I've I've had it happen to me and others I know.
