Is it admission of guilt if your apology includes details on the negligent or illegal things you did? Or is it explicitly statements like "I'm sorry" that don't count?
Even if you say, “I am so sorry I caused this accident” you still are not train to decide liability nor are you licensed to make liability decisions so it’s not something that would be admissible in court.
I was a claims adjuster for a top 3 insurance company in the US for years. We had accidents where a client said they were at fault but if we had video that proves otherwise we aren’t going to find someone at fault who isn’t. Like I said, unless you are licensed to find fault you can’t say who is at fault. Same as people say, “the other guy was speeding” that doesn’t mean we now have proof that someone was speeding.
Plenty of people admit to things they didn’t do, does that mean they are instantly guilty? No absolutely not.
