Protecting Your Right to Full Compensation
The insurance company of the at-fault driver may promise to take care of you after a car accident. However, the interests of the insurance company are the opposite of yours. Its goal is to minimize its liability, and the best way it can do that is by keeping you from hiring an attorney for as long as possible.
In some accidents, key evidence of liability may need to be collected and preserved before it is lost. Our lawyers often use accident reconstructionists to determine how an accident happened. If necessary, we can collect and preserve evidence such as skid marks, witness statements and the wrecked vehicles. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that this evidence will be lost. Without clear evidence of liability, the insurance company will attempt to assign a percentage of the fault to you and thereby reduce the amount that it has to pay.
What Should I Do After an Auto Crash?
The most important things you can do after any type of motor vehicle accident are:
- Seek medical attention and follow the treatment recommendations of your physician
- Let an experienced attorney handle the legal and financial issues of your case
You should not say anything to the other driver's insurance company or sign any documents before you talk to a lawyer. Otherwise, you could end up damaging your case or even signing away your rights.
