Our personal injury attorneys can answer any questions you may have about what constitutes negligence and what it means for an injury to be “severe.” If your attorney determines that your accident meets both of these criteria, we will immediately begin building your claim.
What To Do When The Insurance Company Calls You
Once they are notified of your accident, representatives from either your insurance or the at-fault party’s insurance company may contact you. It’s best if you avoid speaking with them. Innocent comments can be manipulated to make it look like the accident was your fault or used to claim that your injuries aren’t severe. They may also try to pressure you into quickly signing a settlement worth far less than you actually need.
An experienced personal injury attorney will take into account your current and future medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses, so you get the compensation you need to cover the true costs of your accident. We’re used to dealing with insurance company tactics, so when the insurance company calls, hang up and contact us instead. We’ll help you figure out whether or not a settlement offer is fair, and we’ll talk to the insurance company for you.
If you have questions about your car accident, we have answers.
Important Things You Should Do After A Car Or Other Accident
Few understand the important tasks necessary to protect your claim. They include:
• Utilize your car emergency kit (flares, cones, first aid, etc.)
• Call the police
• Go to the hospital if seriously injured
• Document all damages to all vehicles (take photos)
• Document license information for all vehicles (take photos)
• If car requires towing, direct the towing company to tow to your home or approved mechanic
• Never admit fault until you speak with legal counsel and understand what that means
• Politely ask witnesses for contact information
• If witnesses agree to favorably offer their statement of the incident, add their contact information to your phone
• Most important, contact your lawyer immediately so he/she can provide you with the best advice
