What to Do after an Auto Accident
After a car accident, there are several things you should do to preserve your legal claims. The success of your case may depend on it.
Follow these steps to protect yourself:
- Refrain from talking to anyone (including the other driver’s insurance
company) about the accident except for lawyers/investigators from our office - Seek medical treatment as soon as possible and return frequently to your
doctor with any issues that arise; never minimize your complaints - Keep detailed records of any time taken off work as a result of the accident, lost wages/income, medical bills (including medication costs), and other losses caused by the accident
- Wait to have your car or any other damaged property repaired until after our team has had a chance to examine the property, photograph it, and document evidence of the damage
- Take down any witnesses names, phone numbers, and statements, if possible and provide them to our attorneys as soon as possible
- Take photos of the scene of the accident (if possible), as well as any photos of your injuries and/or treatment (again, if possible), as these can be used as evidence by our team
- Allow your health insurance company to pay any hospital and/or medical bills; do not wait for a settlement or verdict to begin paying these bills
