Why does Geico ask me to not reveal the limits of my liability coverage in case of a car accident?












1














I read on my "Evidence of Liability Insurance card" issued by Geico in California, US:




What to do at the time of an accident: […] Do not reveal the limits of your liability coverage to anyone?




Why does Geico ask me to not reveal the limits of my liability coverage in case of a car accident, and should I follow that advice?

  • This should belong in Law, it has to do with the tactics of the legal process and lawyering.
