What to Do After a Car Accident

What should you do after a car accident? While the answer to this question may vary slightly depending on the unique circumstances surrounding your collision, you can find helpful guidance in the following tips compiled by our lawyers.

If you were involved in an accident, follow these tips:

  • Remain at the scene. By law, you need to remain at the scene of an auto accident if someone has been injured or property has been damaged (unless you are in need of emergency medical care and are taken from the scene by an ambulance). Remain at the scene and exchange contact and insurance information with the other party. Call 911 if the accident is blocking the road or someone has been seriously injured.
  • Seek medical attention. A medical evaluation is crucial immediately after a car accident. Whiplash and other car accident injuries may not present serious symptoms for days or even weeks after the collision. See your doctor and tell him or her that you were involved in an auto accident.
  • Gather information. If possible, take pictures at the scene, of your vehicle, of your injuries, and of the other vehicle or vehicles involved. Get the contact information of witnesses and emergency personnel that arrive at the scene.
  • Do not apologize or admit fault. Even if you think you may have been wholly or partially to blame, only a thorough investigation of the collision will determine its true cause. Admitting fault or saying that you are sorry may be used against you as you pursue compensation in the future.
  • Do not sign anything. You may receive numerous documents in the mail from your insurance company after an auto accident. Do not sign anything or give a recorded statement without first consulting an attorney. This can help you avoid saying or doing anything that could jeopardize your ability to pursue maximum compensation.
  • Talk to an attorney. Representing auto accident victims across the Nation, we at CR Legal Team are prepared to listen to your concerns. We can offer insight that applies to your specific case and will be happy to answer your questions. You can count on our passion for doing what’s right and putting our clients’ needs first.

Are You Covered After Your Car Accident?

Auto insurance is a legal requirement in most parts of the United States. It is designed to cover medical expenses and property damage in the event of a collision, as most people cannot pay these expenses on their own. It is important to understand the different types of auto insurance and to ensure you have enough coverage to offer sufficient protection if an accident does occur.

One of the key parts of the legal counsel provided by our team at CR Legal Team is a thorough review of your insurance policy to determine what is covered. We will also investigate the accident itself and the other party’s insurance policy to seek all possible sources of compensation. Because we put your interests first, we will work hard to help you get the compensation* you need. Our attorneys serve injured parties nationwide and we are ready to listen to your concerns from your car accident case.

Understanding the Types of Auto Insurance

Your insurance policy may include the following types of coverage:

  • Liability Insurance: This covers bodily injury and property damage and is meant to protect you from claims filed by other parties who have been injured in an accident in which you were involved.
  • Collision Coverage: This type of coverage addresses damage to your vehicle or to another’s vehicle.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: This covers miscellaneous damage your vehicle may sustain, such as from theft, heavy weather, falling objects, animals, etc.
  • Medical: This covers medical treatment for you and any other occupants of your vehicle. It may also include funeral coverage in the event of a fatal accident.
  • Underinsured Motorist Insurance: If you have this type of insurance, you and anyone in your vehicle may be covered if involved in a collision with an underinsured or uninsured motorist.

If you were injured in a car accident and have questions about what may be covered, please do not hesitate to call our offices at (866) 691-0607. We are here 24/7 to offer guidance and support.

After an auto accident, you probably have numerous questions. While you are always welcome to call CR Legal Team to discuss your specific case and concerns, we have also compiled some frequently asked questions for your convenience. Feel free to review these or to contact our offices at (866) 691-0607 any time, day or night, for a free consultation.

  • Q:What are the most important steps to take immediately after an accident?

    A:Remain at the scene (unless you are in need of emergency medical care) to exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver. Take pictures and gather information at the scene. Get the contact information of any witnesses who saw what occurred. Seek medical attention. Talk to an attorney as soon as possible, before you sign anything or make formal statements. Taking these steps can help to protect your ability to seek maximum compensation.

  • Q:Do I have a case?

    A:It’s common for those involved in auto accidents to be unsure if they have a legal case. If you’re unsure whether your accident qualifies, consider these two questions: 1) Were you injured in the accident? and 2) Was the accident at least partially caused by another person’s negligence? If “yes” is the answer to both questions, we encourage you to contact CR Legal Team because the best way to determine if your accident qualifies is to speak with an experienced attorney.

  • Q:What can you do to help with my insurance claim?

    A:Your car accident lawyer at CR Legal Team can handle all communications with the insurance company and can properly file your claim with supporting documentation and evidence, to help you pursue a fair settlement. This can help you avoid a delayed settlement or unfair offer that will not cover all your losses.

  • Q:When can I expect to receive a settlement?

    A:The answer to this question will vary dramatically depending on the insurance company and how willing they are to work with us in negotiating a fair settlement amount. In every case, we will work closely with you to protect your best interests as we seek maximum compensation in a timely manner.

  • Q:What steps should I take after a car accident?

    A:There are several steps you should take immediately following a car accident to protect your rights and to help secure your best chance of recovering the compensation you need. First, you must ensure that you and any other injured parties receive emergency care. This is your first priority. Then, report your accident to the police and obtain a copy of the report. Take photos or video of the accident scene and of all the injuries suffered. In addition, obtain contact information for any witnesses. Additionally, you should avoid making posts to your social media accounts. This could undermine and cause damage to your claim.

  • Q:Who is At Fault in a Car Accident?

    A:In some states, the driver deemed “at fault” or mostly at fault will pay for the damage of the other vehicles involved. Determining who is responsible will often involve extensive investigation and thorough research. An experienced legal team can assess your situation, investigate the crime scene, and gather evidence to identify the guilty party. The person responsible for the accident will be responsible for paying damages to the other party or parties involved.
