What Can I Do if the At-Fault Driver Lied after a Car Accident

In the attached video, Stephanie Fenstersheib of Fenstersheib Law Group explains what to do if the at-fault driver lies about how your car accident happened — a frustrating situation that unfortunately happens more often than you’d think. When someone twists the facts or gives false information to the police or their insurance company, your best defense is evidence and consistency.

As Stephanie shares in the video, one of the most powerful tools you have after an accident is photos. A picture truly is worth a thousand words. In fact, she describes a case where a dishonest driver claimed the other motorist swerved into his lane — but photos from the scene proved otherwise. Because the victim took clear pictures showing the real damage and vehicle positions, the team at Fenstersheib Law Group was able to successfully challenge the insurance company’s denial and fight for fair compensation.

In addition to documenting everything, make sure you speak directly with law enforcement at the scene. Police reports often include both drivers’ accounts, and any inconsistencies are noted. Staying calm, telling the truth, and keeping your story consistent throughout your case will make your claim much stronger. Avoid arguing or discussing the details with the other driver — let the officers and your attorney handle it from there.

When a driver lies, it can feel like the odds are stacked against you. Insurance companies may be quick to believe their insured’s version of events, but an experienced attorney can uncover the truth through photos, witness statements, and expert accident reconstruction.
