What Should I Do After An Auto Accident?

It is hard to think straight after being involved in an auto accident. However, there are some important things to keep in mind that can be helpful as you move forward and pursue a potential personal injury claim:

• Call 911.
• Gather names of accident eyewitnesses and take photographs of the accident scene.
• See a doctor, even if you think your injuries are minor.
• Do not admit fault. An investigation will determine how the accident was caused.
• Call your insurance company and inform them about the accident.
• Going forward, keep any medical bills, records and other related documents.

Can I Recover Money After The Accident?

If another person or party was responsible for your automobile accident, you may be eligible for significant compensation to cover all accident-related expenses. This may include money to cover medical expenses, hospital bills, lost wages, property damage, funeral expenses and much more.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire Your Law Firm?

Our law firm accepts car accident cases on a contingent-fee basis. This means that you owe us nothing upfront, and only if we successfully obtain monetary compensation for you.

What If The Other Driver Was Uninsured?

Being involved in an accident with an uninsured driver can be a stressful experience. We can evaluate your own auto insurance policy to determine if your insurance covers accidents involving uninsured drivers or underinsured drivers. Most auto insurance policies do.

What Kind Of Car Accident Cases Does Your Firm Handle?

We handle all types of car accident cases caused by a negligent motorist or third party. This includes drunk driving accidents, distracted driving accidents, rear-end accidents, stoplight accidents, trucking accidents, SUV rollover accidents and many more.
