I just got in an accident. What do I do?
If someone involved in the wreck is seriously injured, call 911 immediately. If emergency medical attention is not needed at this time, follow these steps:
- Don’t move the involved vehicles. Keep the scene of the accident as it is to limit the potential plausibility of varying accounts regarding how the wreck occurred. If the evidence is altered, the insurance company could deny your claim.
- Call the police. Follow any directions from the dispatcher, and wait for the police to come as you start the next step.
- Take plenty of pictures. Take as many pictures as you can of all involved vehicles at all angles.
- Exchange insurance information. If you do not feel threatened, exchange insurance information with the other drivers involved. Otherwise, wait until the police arrive.
- Get medical attention if needed. If you are in pain or concerned about your health, seek medical assistance.
- Alert your insurance company. You can notify your provider about the accident, but refrain from giving a recorded statement until you speak with an attorney.
Kwon Law can help you get a fair settlement.
Insurance companies may initially deny your claim or try to pay as little as possible to repair the damage resulting from a wreck, but having an experienced attorney on your side can make sure you get justice. You are allowed to recover compensation within two years of the incident, but the sooner you contact an attorney, the better it is for your case.
If you’ve been in a car wreck, you don’t have to handle things on your own. Get in touch with Kwon Law as soon as possible to discuss your rights and find out if you are entitled to compensation.
Common Car Accident Questions
An investigation will determine if there could be more than one person or entity responsible for damages. In all cases, the truck driver can be sued. If there is a trucking company involved, the trucking company that either owns the truck or employs the driver can also be sued. If there are mechanical issues regarding components of the truck, then certain manufacturers can become involved as well.
Absolutely not. When an attorney is not involved, insurance companies will deny cases for many different reasons. It does not mean you don’t deserve recovery in your case. Contact us at Kwon Law, and we will better evaluate the case for you.
You should never admit fault for an auto accident. Even if you think you’re at fault for the accident, you’re not aware of all the facts and circumstances at play. A proper investigation is needed to determine fault. If possible, avoid saying things such as “I didn’t see you” or that you’re uninjured. Injuries from automobile accidents may not show up for a couple of days, even months.
Statistically, people represented by lawyers get three times more settlement money than people who don’t. So while you don’t always need a lawyer, having legal representation can ensure that you receive the compensation you are owed.
