CAR ACCIDENTS

Car Accidents

A car accident can come from nowhere. One minute you’re driving to work or the grocery store. The next thing you know, you’re thrown from your seat with another car meshed into yours. You find yourself trapped behind a crushed-in vehicle door, bleeding from a shower of shattered glass.

Or maybe you get in a little fender bender and wake up with aches and pains the next day. Not every collision is severe. They can range from a slight tap in the bumper to rollovers, fires, and totaled vehicles.

Either way, when you’re injured in a car accident, it causes pain, stress, and financial burden. That’s why we’re here. We can help you recover.

What To Do After A Collision

First, call 911 right away if you or anyone else needs an ambulance. Before calling a lawyer, your mom, or a friend, get the medical care you need!

If you don’t need an ambulance, call the police. It’s important to fill out an accident report with a local officer. Make sure you get the police report number so you (or your attorney) can request a copy for your records.

Take photos of the accident if your injuries allow it. Take as many as you safely can. Photos are valuable pieces of evidence to support your personal injury claim.

Helpful Car Crash Photos

  • The license plate of each vehicle
  • A full view of your vehicle from each side
  • The angle of the collision
  • The placement of the vehicles
  • The damage to each of the vehicles involved (include multiple angles, close-ups, and the full area of the damage to put it into context)
  • The skids on the roadway
  • The car’s VIN number and odometer reading
  • Any visible injuries

Before you leave the scene, exchange insurance information with every other driver involved in the crash. Then, exchange contact information with every witness to the crash.

Next, get medical attention for your injury. Even if you don’t “feel” injured, see a doctor as soon as you can to ensure that any injury you might have suffered is accurately diagnosed.

Your next step is to talk to a personal injury lawyer about your options for an injury claim. That’s where we come in.

Your Personal Injury Claim

If you are a car accident victim, a personal injury claim is your way to seek compensation for your losses. Personal injury claims prove how you have suffered as the direct result of someone’s negligence.

In other words, someone’s actions caused a collision, the collision caused your injuries, and your injuries caused financial loss. You’re entitled to recover those damages.

Compensation Included in Personal Injury Claims

  • Your Medical Bills
  • Your Lost Wages
  • Damage to Your Vehicle
  • Potential Future Impairment
  • Other Expenses Due to Your Injury

If you want to make sure you’re getting the compensation you need, contact us! A good personal injury lawyer knows how to maximize your claim. We keep insurance companies from taking advantage of people like you.
