After a Car Accident: Your Next Steps Matter

Car accidents happen in seconds but can change your life forever. However, what you do right after the crash can make a big difference in your case. Many people make mistakes because they don’t know what to do. That’s why we want to help you understand the important steps. 

Stay Calm and Stay Safe 

First, take a deep breath. Then, check if anyone is hurt. If someone needs medical help, call 911 right away. Additionally, move your car out of traffic if you can do it safely. 

Call the Police 

Always call the police, even for small accidents. They will write a report that helps your case later. Furthermore, some injuries don’t show up right away. Therefore, having an official record protects you. 

Collect Important Information 

Get the other driver’s name, phone number, and insurance information. Also, take pictures of all the cars and the accident scene. Moreover, if there are witnesses, ask for their contact information too. 

Don’t Admit Fault 

Be polite, but don’t say you’re sorry or that the accident was your fault. Sometimes accidents happen for reasons that aren’t clear right away. Therefore, let the insurance companies and police figure out what happened. 

See a Doctor Soon 

Even if you feel okay, see a doctor within a few days. Some injuries, like whiplash, don’t hurt right away. Additionally, having medical records helps prove your injuries later. 

Watch Out for Insurance Tricks 

The other driver’s insurance company might call you quickly. They often try to get you to accept a small settlement right away. However, don’t sign anything or give recorded statements without talking to a lawyer first. 

Know Your Rights 

You have the right to fair compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain. Furthermore, if the other driver was at fault, their insurance should pay for your damages. 

We Understand Your Concerns 

Many people in our community worry about dealing with insurance companies, especially if English isn’t their first language. At the Law Offices of Roderick C. White, we speak Spanish and understand your concerns. 

Don’t Wait 

Time limits exist for filing accident claims. In Texas, you have two years, but in Missouri, you have five years. However, the sooner you call us, the better we can help preserve evidence and protect your rights. 

Remember, we offer free consultations, and we don’t get paid unless you win your case. I GOT YOU!
