wing what steps to take next can help protect your health, rights, and financial future. At Lanzet Law, our experienced personal injury attorneys are here to guide you through the process and help you secure the compensation you deserve.
1. Prioritize Your Health & Seek Medical Attention
Your health should be your top priority. Even if your injuries seem minor, it’s crucial to seek medical attention immediately. Some injuries, like whiplash or internal trauma, may not show symptoms right away but can become serious over time. A medical report also serves as key evidence in your personal injury claim.
2. Call the Police & Report the Accident
A police report is a crucial piece of evidence in a car accident case. Call 911 and report the accident, ensuring that law enforcement arrives at the scene. The officer will document the incident, gather witness statements, and provide an official accident report that can support your legal claim.
3. Gather Evidence at the Scene
If you’re able, collect as much evidence as possible:
- Take photos and videos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any visible injuries.
- Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver(s).
- Get witness statements and their contact details.
4. Notify Your Insurance Company
Inform your insurance company about the accident, but be cautious with your statements. Insurance adjusters may try to minimize your claim, so avoid admitting fault or making recorded statements without consulting an attorney.
5. Consult an Experienced Car Accident Attorney
Dealing with insurance companies and legal claims can be overwhelming, especially when recovering from an injury. A personal injury lawyer from Lanzet Law can help you:
- Determine liability and gather evidence.
- Negotiate with insurance companies to maximize your compensation.
- File a lawsuit if necessary to protect your rights.
6. Understand the Compensation You May Be Entitled To
If you were injured in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence, you may be eligible for compensation, including:
✔️ Medical expenses (current and future)
✔️ Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
✔️ Pain and suffering
✔️ Property damage
✔️ Rehabilitation costs
