What You Should Do After an Auto Accident

If you are hit by another motorist, there are certain steps you should take to protect your legal rights and enhance the viability of a personal injury claim. After an accident, make sure to seek medical attention, even if you think the injuries are “not serious.” It is also a good idea to obtain as much information as possible from the other motorist, including:

The full name, home address, phone number, and driver’s license information, of the other motorist;
The insurance company information for the other motorist; and
The license plate number of the other vehicle;
In addition to securing information from the other driver, make sure to take pictures of your vehicle, the other vehicle, and any visible injuries you suffered with your cell phone. If there were any witnesses who saw the collision (e.g., a passenger in your vehicle or the other driver’s vehicle), then you should make sure to get their contact information as well.

You also need to make sure the police arrive at the scene of the collision and a report is filed. This is important because a police report will provide a vital piece of evidence for assessing liability and describing how the car accident occurred.

Overview of the Personal Injury Claim Process

One of the most common questions asked by prospective personal injury clients is, “how does the claim process actually work?” The information below is intended to give you an idea of what to expect when a personal injury claim is filed with the other driver’s insurance company. However, please understand that every case is unique so the process can fluctuate depending on various factors including: (i) the extent of your injuries, (ii) the amount of available insurance coverage, (iii) whether liability is contested, etc. Nevertheless, as a general guideline, this is how the personal injury claim process generally works:

You meet with an experienced personal injury attorney with RS Law Offices for a free, confidential consultation.
When you decide to hire our firm, we get to work right away and send out letters of representation to the other driver’s insurance company and your insurance company.
You seek treatment for your bodily injuries. Your treatment can be with a physical therapist, chiropractor, or other medical specialist.
Once treatment is complete, your Los Angeles or Phoenix car accident lawyer will compiled your medical records, lost wages, and other relevant information related to your harms and losses.
Your California or Arizona auto accident attorney will then send these documents, along with a demand letter, to the other driver’s insurance company seeking financial restitution for your harms and losses.
The negotiation process will commence and it is quite common for the insurance company to make offers and for your lawyer to make counter-offers. You can take comfort in knowing that our personal injury law firm is advocating for your best interests and will not pressure you to accept a settlement offer. The ultimate authority to approve or deny a settlement is vested in you.
If a settlement offer is made that you decide is acceptable, we will proceed with a settlement. If you don’t like what’s being offered, we will take your case to trial and advocate on your behalf in court.
