What to Do After a Car Accident

After a car accident in North Lauderdale, you must first call the police. Often, the individual that caused the accident will try to convince you not to call the police and to exchange information instead. However, if you are not at fault, it is in your best interest to contact the police after an accident because the negligent driver might give you false information, or the person who caused the accident might be unwilling to admit blame. Having a police report completed when you are not at fault is not only a good idea, but it may also be the law, depending on the circumstances.

Additionally, you might have been injured in the accident and not even know it. Sometimes after an accident, your adrenaline is flowing so strongly you don’t realize that you have injuries until you go home, or even a day or two later.

If possible, try to get photos of the scene of the accident with your camera or cell phone, and photos of the vehicles involved in the accident. Also, take pictures right away of your bruises and any visible injuries, as the other sides’ insurance company is likely to “play down” and try to minimize your injuries to try to reduce the amount they have to pay.

If you start getting calls from adjusters, it’s best not to speak with them until you have attorney representation. If you are approached by tow truck drivers, emergency room or hospital personnel, or anyone else recommending an attorney, you should do your research before making the decision to hire. Those people might be getting paid by the lawyer they are recommending. This is known as “ambulance chasing” and it is illegal. Most times when you hire an “ambulance chaser” attorney, you will be getting a less qualified lawyer.

Why Should I Hire a Car Accident Attorney?

The purpose of hiring an attorney is to try and obtain the maximum possible compensation for your injuries. But why not just go through car insurance instead? Car insurance companies, especially the ones that advertise a lot (such as Allstate, Progressive, or State Farm), are only looking out for the interest of the company. In fact, most of the time, they make offers short of what you need because they know you are going to take it (“lowball” offers). A lot of people fear not getting any money, and insurance companies know this and use it to their advantage.

If you hire our firm after your car accident in North Lauderdale, we will do our best to obtain the maximum recovery for your accident. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning that if we can’t obtain compensation for your injuries, then you will not be charged fees or costs for our services. In other words, it’s in our best interest to try and get a recovery for your accident case.

From the very beginning, we will start investigating your accident immediately. We will do our best to get relevant evidence, and we will keep up with you while you are recovering. We will work on getting reimbursement for your medications if you qualify, and we can help you with your property damage as well.
