What to do I do if I have been involved in a car accident?

 

Even if you are careful, you may be unlucky enough to need the services of a car accident lawyer. Every week, we are contacted by many people who want to know what to do after a car, motorcycle or truck accident. Here are seven rules to help change your luck:

At the accident scene, the fist seven rules are:

  • Remain calm
  • Stop in a safe place
  • Make sure no one is hurt
  • Call 911 and ask for the police, and an ambulance if necessary
  • Get the other driver’s name, address and phone number. Record his vehicle registration number. If you believe the other driver is intoxicated, tell the police officer
  • Get the names, addresses and phone numbers of the witnesses

The Call and Advise is Free!

We work on a contingency fee basis. We do not get paid, unless you get paid
Contact your insurer. Get medical treatment promptly and continue to get all the medical treatment you need for as long as you need it. Do not speak to the insurance company for the other driver. Instead, tell the insurance company representative to call your lawyer. Have someone take photos of the cars and any skid marks on the road (skid marks start to fade within days). Keep track of all the places you have gotten medical treatment, the physical ailments that you have and how the injuries affect your day-to-day life.

We want you to be safe. Be a responsible, defensive driver. Approach intersections with caution, follow other cars with plenty of room, use your mirrors, and slow your speed according to the road conditions. Additionally, ensure that your vehicle is mechanically sound and properly insured. And of course, never drink and drive. For over 25 years, we have been vigilant in representing the injured and their families. Joyce A. Faraone has recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars for car and truck accident deaths and injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured by one of the thousands of car accidents each year, contact our office for a free consultation today.

Again, we are here to help you.
