Have you been involved in a car accident that has left you injured due to the reckless or negligent actions of another driver? If so, you may think you have a simple case and that it will be easy to get the compensation you deserve. Unfortunately, when it comes to car accident cases, nothing is as simple as it seems. Not only will you be left with the burden of proving fault, you also will have to navigate predatory insurance companies that want to minimize your claim to financial compensation. Protect yourself after a car accident by following these steps:
Document Everything: If you are injured it may not be realistic to take photos of every angle of your vehicle and the other driver’s vehicle, however, if possible get these photos. You will also want to privately make note of all the details of the accident for later use. This means, how fast were you going, where was this accident, did you notice anything strange, etc. Keep this information to yourself to later share with your experienced car accident attorney.
Exchange Information at the Scene of the Accident: You will want to get as much information from the other driver as possible. This includes phone numbers, secondary contact information, driver’s insurance, and driver’s license. Make sure you get all of this information before leaving the scene of the
Keep Organized Records: If you have been injured AT ALL you need to see a physician following your accident. Every time you see a physician, physical therapist, get a medication prescribed, buy medical equipment for at home use, or anything else that cost money, keep all receipts. Make notes about each receipt if you think you won’t remember what the cost was from.
Do Not Rush to Talk With Insurance Adjusters: You may feel pressure to immediately call your insurance company to relay information to them. Rushing into this conversation is rarely in your best interest. After an accident your emotions are high and you have adrenaline pumping, this leaves you vulnerable to predatory tactics insurance companies are notorious for using against those who have been involved in car accidents. Reach out to an attorney before you speak to your insurance company, calmly go over all the facts of your case, and then report your accident.
