What Happens If the Other Driver Lies About the Accident?

The MAXOUT Lawyer | April 1, 2025 | Car Accidents

It’s bad enough to get hit by another driver. But it’s even worse when they lie about what happened.

We’ve seen it all—drivers who swear they had a green light when they didn’t, claim you were speeding when you weren’t, or flat-out deny fault even when the damage clearly tells the truth. Sometimes they change their story days later. Sometimes they make things up on the spot. Either way, it puts your case in jeopardy if you’re not ready to fight back.

So what do you do when the other driver lies?

You build your case like a pro. That’s where we come in.

At MAXOUT Injury Lawyers, we know how to deal with liars, deniers, and “I don’t recall” types. We don’t panic—we get to work. That means collecting hard evidence: crash reports, body cam footage, surveillance video, traffic light timing records, black box data, witness statements, and anything else we can find to prove what really happened. When the truth is on your side, our job is to make it undeniable.

The insurance company may act like it’s your word against theirs—but we don’t let it stay that way. We turn up the pressure, build the case, and flip the narrative. We’ve won full policy limits in cases where the other driver refused to take responsibility right up until the day the check was cut.

Here’s the truth: people lie after accidents all the time. Some panic. Some are trying to avoid getting ticketed. Some are just dishonest. But lies fall apart under the weight of real evidence. That’s why you don’t wait, don’t try to argue at the scene, and don’t assume everything will sort itself out.

You call someone who knows how to MAXOUT the truth.
