Have You Been Injured in a Car Accident?
Perhaps the most important thing to remember if you are in a car accident is to talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer before making any statement to an insurance company. The insurance company — whether your own or the other driver's — is only trying to limit or deny the amount they pay you. An experienced attorney can protect your interests.
Also, we urge you to speak with an attorney before getting your car repaired. Fixing your car could erase evidence that is valuable to your case.
Other important steps to take if you have been in a car accident include:
- Take photos of the accident scene.
- Take photos of the damage done to your vehicle and other cars involved in the accident.
- Identify and get information from potential witnesses who saw the accident take place.
- See a doctor. (Even if your injuries don't seem urgent or severe, they may and often do get worse as time goes by. Getting treatment and an accurate diagnosis is important to your health. Addi tonally, insurance companies often blame an injured party for contributing to the severity of their injuries by not getting prompt medical treatment. )
