Car Accident, What To Do Next?

When you are involved in a motor vehicle crash, you have rights. Taking care of these six items immediately will help protect your rights. Ensuring proper records exist from a car accident is an important part of a personal injury case. As overwhelming as the accident is, acting fast on these steps can help ease the stresses of a car accident case.

Call the Police

Even if the crash is only minor, it’s a good idea to get an official record of what happened. Even if someone has admitted fault at the scene of the crash, people sometimes change their story or omit information later when making a claim with their insurance company. Don’t rely on them to tell the truth later – call the police to ensure an accurate record of events gets put to paper immediately.

See a Doctor

Whether or not you feel seriously injured, see a doctor after the crash. Not every injury is visible. Shock from an accident can give people a surge of adrenalin. Only hours or days later do they feel the full effects of a serious and lingering back injury.

  • It’s important to see a doctor because some symptoms may not appear for days or weeks later.
  • Getting medical attention immediately can prevent worsening your injury
Record Evidence
  • Draw diagrams
  • Take photos

Hiring A Car Accident Lawyer in Salt Lake City

It’s possible you may be wondering why anyone would hire a lawyer when there’s already an insurance adjuster assigned to helping with the case. Never forget that the main objective of the insurance adjuster is to protect the bottom line of the insurance company – not you. Hiring a car accident lawyer can mean peace of mind that there is an experienced professional involved and on your side.

One way in which a personal injury lawyer could reframe the outcome of your case is by obtaining important evidence during the case. A personal injury lawyer may be able to obtain important footage that demonstrates fault of the other party.

Knowing when it’s appropriate to go to trial and when to settle out of court is a decision you likely could benefit from input by an experienced personal injury trial lawyer.

Some advantages may include a faster recovery of just compensation or avoiding some of the additional costs of expert witnesses in trial. Whatever the reason, a competent car accident lawyer will communicate the options clearly with their client.

Hiring a car accident lawyer will ensure that the crash victim sees the settlement after a case. A serious wreck will take a major toll on the body, and pain and injury can occur longer than expected. Having a lawyer on the side of the victim can ensure they don’t get shortchanged by an insurance adjuster protecting the interests of the company.
