What To Do After An Accident
After a crash, most people feel frightened and confused. However, there are some important steps that you can take after an accident that can dramatically help your case. If possible, you should:
- Seek medical treatment immediately, even if you do not have any visible injuries. Many injuries do not appear until days, weeks or even months after an accident.
- Get the name, license plate number, insurance information and contact information of the other party.
- Contact the police so they can file a formal report.
- Document the scene of the accident by taking photographs.
- Do NOT talk to any insurance companies. Insurance companies will try to downplay your injury so that they can offer a lower settlement.
There is one other crucial step to take: contacting a personal injury attorney. An attorney will advocate for you against powerful insurance companies, help you file a personal injury claim and work with you to recover the maximum amount of compensation available.
Some drivers do not purchase auto insurance or do not have enough coverage to pay for your damages. Cases involving uninsured or underinsured motorists are very complex. Fortunately, Blake Jones Law Firm LLC, has handled numerous cases involving uninsured or underinsured motorists, and we can help you.
