What should I do immediately following an auto accident?

Immediately following an auto accident, ensure your safety and that of others. Move to a safe location if possible, call 911 to report the accident and request medical assistance if needed, exchange information with the other driver(s), and take photographs of the scene, vehicles, and any visible injuries if you can. It’s recommended to contact a lawyer to understand your rights and options moving forward.

How do I know if I need an attorney after an auto accident?

You should consider hiring an attorney if you've suffered injuries, there's significant property damage, the fault is being disputed, or you're facing medical bills and lost wages. An experienced auto accident attorney can help navigate the legal system, deal with insurance companies, and ensure you receive fair compensation for your damages.

What compensation can I expect to receive for my auto accident claim?

Compensation, or damages, can include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. The amount depends on the specifics of your case, including the severity of your injuries, the impact on your daily life, and the insurance policies involved. An attorney can evaluate your case and help you understand the potential value of your claim.

What if the other driver involved in the accident doesn’t have insurance?

If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may still have options for recovery through your own insurance if you have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. An attorney can help you understand your policy and guide you through the process of making a claim under your coverage. Contact us today to discuss your options.
