An accident preparedness plan can help you get essential information
If you have been involved in an accident, you know that you may not be thinking clearly. Consequently, you may forget to obtain all of the critical pieces of information you will need later to successfully pursue your claim. It may be helpful to have a written accident preparedness plan to keep in your vehicle should an accident occur.
- Obtain the name and telephone number, the license plate number and insurance policy information of the other driver
- Call the police so an officer can respond and complete a report
- Write down the names, addresses and telephone numbers of any witnesses who can support your claim
- Make sure that you seek medical treatment. No matter what your initial perceptions of injury might be, you owe it to yourself and your loved ones to seek professional medical evaluation
- Be sure to tell the doctor you are there because of an accident, and be specific about the pain and injuries
- Contact our office so that we can begin investigating further.
Protect your rights against a stubborn insurance carrier
After an injury or accident, it is important to be aware of the pitfalls in the insurance industry. Most insurance carriers seek to settle cases quickly, often offering less than claims are worth — particularly if you’re not represented by an attorney. If you accept a quick settlement before your injuries have been fully and completely evaluated, you may lose your opportunity to obtain coverage for all of your losses. It is important to consult with an attorney who can review the evidence and determine the full amount of your losses.
We will pursue a strategic investigation of your case to uncover all relevant evidence. Our goal is to present comprehensive documentation of your losses including medical expenses, lost wages, care needs, pain and suffering, and any additional personal losses you and your family have suffered.
