What To Do After An Accident
A car crash can seem to happen out of nowhere. If you find yourself getting caught in an auto wreck, you may be in pain, and feeling shaken and disoriented. But there are steps you can take in those first minutes and hours after a serious car accident that will help you protect your legal rights later on. These steps might make the difference in your personal injury claim:
- Get medical attention. After a serious collision, your first priority should be to make sure you get the medical care you need to stabilize your condition.
- Take pictures. If you are able, take photographs at the accident scene. Include as many relevant pictures as possible, such as all the vehicles involved.
- Don't speak to an insurance company. Often, insurance companies will act very quickly after a serious crash, sending a representative to the scene. Someone may try to contact you while you are still recovering in the hospital, in no condition to be making important financial decisions. Keep in mind that these companies have their own best interests in mind. Protect your own best interests and don't talk to an insurance adjuster without representation on your side.
- Hire an attorney. Instead of worrying about your situation by yourself, take action and hire the law firm of G. Ernie Ramos, Jr., to represent you.
Keep these tips in mind if you ever get into a serious wreck.
Though every car accident victim we represent has a unique case in some way, our clients tend to ask many of the same questions. Depending on what happened to you, you may be wondering:
- How am I going to get my medical bills paid?
- How am I going to take care of my family?
- Can my lost income be reimbursed?
- What about getting my car fixed?
As your lawyer, we will work to put you at ease by answering your questions, starting with your most urgent concerns, and help you prepare for the next steps.
