Answers after a motor vehicle accident
When should I contact a car accident lawyer?
After obtaining necessary medical care, contact an attorney as soon as practical. Video, witness information, vehicle data and other evidence may disappear, and legal deadlines can apply.
What should I do after a serious collision?
Get medical attention, report the crash, photograph the vehicles and scene if it is safe, identify witnesses, preserve insurance communications and avoid guessing about fault or the extent of your injuries.
What if the other driver is uninsured?
Your own policy may include uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. The policy, notices and available coverage should be reviewed before accepting an insurer's position.
What if I was driving for work?
A collision while performing job duties may involve both workers’ compensation and a claim against an at-fault driver. The claims have different benefits and procedures and should be evaluated together.
