What Should I Do Immediately After a Car Accident?

When it comes to the health and safety of you and your passengers, every second counts. Take these important steps immediately after a car accident.

Physically check yourself for injuries by running your hands over your body. Vehicle accidents can cause a spike in adrenaline, masking any pain you might feel from your injuries. Try not to move your neck — spinal injuries are difficult to personally diagnose, and movement makes it worse.
If you have passengers, check them for injuries if you can. Don’t move them if they show any signs of injury.
As soon as you are able, call for help or ask someone nearby to call for help.
Document the scene. If you have a smartphone or camera handy, take pictures. Record or write down everything you and your passengers remember.
If you’re able to move, look for witnesses. Get their contact information and note anything they recall about the incident.
Unless you or your passengers have life-threatening injuries, stay at the scene. Fleeing the scene of an accident is a crime. Once you’ve given your statement and the police tell you’re free to go, you can proceed to the hospital.
As soon as you’re able, call a vehicle accident lawyer. The Law Offices of Jacob Emrani will start on your case immediately. We deal with the insurance company so you can focus on your health and your passengers.

How Do I Know If I Have a Valid Car Accident Claim?

Determining if you have a valid car accident claim can be difficult. That’s why you need the best car accident lawyer on your side. Few people know the laws surrounding car accident injuries, and a common mistake is speaking to the insurance company without representation. You may wind up giving information to the insurance company that they aren’t entitled to and can use against you and your claim.

What Types of Compensation Can I Recover After a Car Accident?

If you have a valid car accident claim, you’re entitled to compensation for costs related to the incident. Receiving a settlement often takes several months and your bills can add up during that time. Common types of compensation include loss of earnings, medical costs, property damage, and pain and suffering.

Loss of earnings

It’s common for car accident survivors to struggle through their recovery, leading to a loss of work due to their injuries. In some cases, time off work can last weeks or even months. Loss of income compensation ensures your financial security while you heal.

Medical costs

Medical costs from car accident injuries can add up to thousands of dollars. You may need physical therapy for scar tissue and nerve rehabilitation, chiropractic care for skeletal issues, and massage therapy for soft tissue and muscle repair. Compensation for medical bills ensures you get the help you need to make a full recovery.

If you don’t have medical insurance and can’t afford hospital bills, you have options. Some doctors may place your bills on a lien if you’re working with an auto accident lawyer and they have a guarantee of reimbursement.

Property damage

Damage sustained to your vehicle, bicycle, or personal property can cost a fortune to replace, especially if you have a high deductible or your damaged possessions aren’t covered by your insurance. Property damage compensation allows you to replace your lost items.

Pain and suffering

Physical injuries and the surrounding medical costs don’t take into consideration the mental suffering and pain you experience as a result of the accident. You may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering, such as post-traumatic stress disorder resulting from the shock of the accident or ongoing pain caused by nerve damage.

Do I Need a Lawyer If My Car Accident Was Minor?

If you didn’t experience any injuries during your accident, you can probably settle with your insurance company without incident. However, some injuries — especially soft tissue and spinal trauma — can take one or two days to notice and you may lose valuable information related to your case in that time. It’s a good practice to see a physician after any car accident, even if you think you feel fine.

Typical Car Accident Injuries

Car accident injuries are often very painful and have long-lasting effects. Here’s a list of common car accident injuries to be aware of:
