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.

What if I was in a car accident and the other driver wasn’t insured?
A Car crash involving uninsured – or underinsured – drivers are typically more complicated than other vehicle accidents. Still, there may be multiple avenues to get compensation, such as the uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage of your own insurance. We can help you explore these options.
Should I see a doctor if I feel fine?
Yes. Injuries from car crashes can sometimes take days or even weeks to become noticeable. A swift medical evaluation can identify these early and protect both your health and your rights.
What should I do if my car is no longer drivable?
Your auto insurance will likely provide a rental car while yours is being repaired or replaced. We can help if you run into any roadblocks.
How can I make ends meet if I can’t currently work?
Through a personal injury claim, you can seek compensation for all of your financial losses due to the injury – including for lost wages. The same is true for auto insurance claims. Our attorneys can help you fight for every dollar you deserve.
