What To Do After Getting Injured In A Car Accident

Nobody plans to get into a serious crash. But if it happens to you, the way you handle the minutes, hours and days afterward can dramatically affect how much you recover in financial compensation. Here are a few tips.

• Call 911 for medical assistance and to get a police officer to investigate.
• If you are physically able, use your phone or a digital camera to take pictures of the accident scene. Photos can help you show that the other driver was at fault and establish how much damage your vehicle sustained.
• Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver. If there were any third-party witnesses, ask for their contact info too.
• As soon as you can, write down what you remember about the wreck. Ask the police for a copy of the accident report. Keep track of your medical appointments, prescriptions and other related things.
• Speak to one of our car accident lawyers before talking to the insurance company’s claims adjuster. We can review the details of your accident, advise you how much you deserve in compensation and talk to the insurance company on your behalf.

How Is Negligence Determined In A Car Crash?

Negligence in motor vehicle cases is based on the legal duty of care every driver owes other people to be careful behind the wheel. When someone fails to take reasonable steps to drive safely gets into a car accident and somebody else is hurt as a result, the driver is negligently at fault, even if they did not purposely crash into the victim. Examples of negligence include:

• Driving drunk or high
• Speeding
• Running red lights and stop signs
• Distracted driving
• Failing to keep their vehicle in proper working order

Even if the other driver does not admit to negligently causing your injuries, evidence can help build a case. Modern technology like dashboard cameras, surveillance footage and onboard crash data can help reconstruct what happened, as can more traditional evidence like photographs of the scene and eyewitness accounts.
