VEHICLE ACCIDENTS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL INJURY CASE

GET THE CONTACT INFORMATION OF ALL NECESSARY PARTIES – AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT, IF YOU ARE PHYSICALLY ABLE, GATHER THE FULL NAMES & ADDRESSES OF EVERY PERSON INVOLVED - ESPECIALLY THE NAME OF THE DRIVER AND ANY WITNESSES TO THE ACCIDENT.

IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT & TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOUR INJURIES – SHOWING THE DIRECT RESULT OF THE AT FAULT DRIVER’S ACT IS PROOF THAT WILL BE HELPFUL TO YOUR CASE.

DOCUMENT EVERYTHING – MAKE SURE YOU RECEIVE COPIES OF ALL RECEIPTS AND BEGIN TO KEEP A JOURNAL OF YOUR PAIN & SUFFERING, DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENTS, LOST WORK DAYS, ETC.

DO NOT TALK TO THE ADVERSE INSURANCE COMPANY & DO NOT ACCEPT ANY QUICK SETTLEMENT OFFERS - ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GIVE ANY STATEMENT TO AN ADVERSE INSURANCE COMPANY. EARLY SETTLEMENT OFFERS OFTEN INDICATE AN INSURANCE COMPANY’S ATTEMPT TO AVOID SERIOUS LIABILITY, HOPING YOU WILL TAKE THE BAIT SO THEY AVOID FURTHER LIABILITY AND A MORE COSTLY SETTLEMENT.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SIGN ANY DOCUMENT FROM THE ADVERSE INSURANCE COMPANY WITHOUT FIRST CONSULTING YOUR ATTORNEY - REMEMBER, INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE VAST RESOURCES AND ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF COLLECTING PREMIUMS, NOT PAYING OUT CLAIMS – PROTECT YOURSELF.

IMMEDIATELY CONTACT A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER AFTER YOUR ACCIDENT FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO PROCEED - INSURANCE COMPANIES OFTEN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ACCIDENT VICTIMS BECAUSE THEY ARE UNAWARE AND UNFAMILIAR WITH THE CLAIMS PROCESS.
