What To Do If You Have A Car Accident
car accident crash book
Like an auto mechanic who diagnoses problems with cars and implements a plan of repair, an auto accident attorney assesses the damage caused by an auto accident and guides their clients along a clear path of resolution. Two of the primary responsibilities of your attorney will be to ensure that you are recovering from your injuries by connecting you with the right doctors and making sure the medical bills get paid; deal with the insurance companies.
This includes handling the paperwork and communicating with these companies to guarantee a fair outcome for your claim
If you are reading this book you have likely already been in an accident and can’t change what has already happened. However, there are some initial steps to take that will make your case much easier to resolve in the long run.
Don’t worry if you aren’t able to get all of the items listed below. There are still things you can do to try to get as much of the information as possible. Obviously, as mentioned above, if you are injured, taking care of yourself is the most important thing. The police and those around you should take care of things while you are not able to.
Take Care of Yourself:
If you need an ambulance, get an ambulance. If you need to go to the hospital, go. If you need to see the chiropractor, physical therapist, family doctor, or whichever medical provider you need, go
ALWAYS call the police
Police officers have a lot of weight in deciding liability. Also, people may initially seem nice and cooperative. They might even admit fault to you. It’s amazing how fast their story can change.
This creates the “he said, she said” scenario that will likely result in huge out of pocket expenses even though the accident was no fault of your own.
