What if I have just been in an accident?
If you have been involved in an accident, we urge you to move quickly to document your injury case. If you have not yet hired an attorney make sure you get photographs of your vehicle. Get 2 to 3 estimates of repair on your vehicle. If you are injured, see a doctor immediately and follow the doctor’s advice. If a doctor places you out of work, get a written note and keep a copy. Notify the defendant’s insurance company immediately. Be prepared to be without a vehicle until the insurance company can investigate the accident. They will not pay for your vehicle, a rental, or your injury until they are satisfied you had no fault in the accident. You should also at least consult with a lawyer to make sure you understand your rights.
