Seeking Medical Attention After an Accident
If you are injured after a car accident, you should consider seeking medical attention. Some injuries, like whiplash, can take time to develop symptoms, and it’s important that your injuries are diagnosed so you can start treatment as soon as possible.
Talking with the Insurance Company after an Accident
There is a very good chance that you will be contacted by multiple insurance companies shortly after the accident. Different insurance companies may be responsible for covering different things. The insurance company for the at-fault driver may even make you an initial settlement offer. As someone who is injured in a car accident, it’s important to be aware that insurance companies are not always on your side. Some are just looking to protect their insured and save money. An experienced attorney can advocate on your behalf and help ensure you receive maximum compensation.
Retaining a Car Accident Lawyer
For those desiring to bring a personal injury claim, it is normally a good idea to call an attorney soon after the accident. An experienced attorney can ensure that all relevant insurance companies are put on notice and begin the process of assembling evidence that can be used later to prove the case. In addition, if you wait to start your claim, you could lose access to evidence that you need to prove liability and achieve maximum compensation.
