Motor Vehicle Accident FAQ
Motor vehicle accidents occur very often so in this article we will compile a small FAQ on the main law related question that most people ask after an accident.
What should I do after the accident?
Make sure that you and the other victims are okay. Talk to the other driver or drivers and start gathering the evidence. It is important that you make a whole picture before the police or the insurance agents arrive. It is possible that there will be a lawsuit, so try to get the clear picture for your lawyer. What happened, who is guilty, damages, etc. The most important thing is – don’t make any statements or even take part of the guilt. The whole law related stuff will be negotiated between lawyers, so do not try to be an honest good guy, be more practical. Also do not try to negotiate any compensation if you are injured.
Who should I call first?
If someone is injured, the first thing you need to do is to call the police. If everyone is okay you need to call your lawyer, police, relatives and the insurance company. It depends on you in what order you call them, but it is better to contact your lawyer before you contact the insurance company.
What about the insurance company?
It is better to contact the insurance company after you have collected all the needed information about the accident. Remember that the insurance company is always trying to protect its funds, so they are willing to find as many guilty people as possible. Also you need to talk to your lawyer before you present the evidence to the insurance company, there is a possibility that they will present some things in a twisted way.
What lawyer should I choose?
A personal injury lawyer with experience in motor vehicle accidents. There are multiple types of personal injury cases and thousands of personal injury lawyers. Don’t contact just the first personal injury lawyer, it is possible that he is experienced in dealing with compensations for emotional damage and not handling motor vehicle accidents. As for the payment most of the personal injury lawyers work on a contingent fee, it means that they will get a part of the money that you receive as a compensation.
Should I make a claim?
In most cases yes, but it is better to consult your lawyer. If most of the guilt lies on the other drivers of course you need to make a claim, but be sure that you have good evidence and arguments.
What can I expect if I make a claim?
It depends on the situation. If the accident is not your fault and the other side is clearly guilty most probably there will be a settlement. Most motor vehicle accidents are solved without trial by a negotiated settlement. If the situation is complicated and you have a part of the fault it will be better to ask you lawyer. He will describe the possibilities basing on his experience.
