Auto accidents of any kind are fundamentally traumatic events. Dealing with the insurance company, car repairs or vehicle replacement can be a massive headache on its own. Suffering an injury can make the process exponentially more frustrating and disruptive.
Whenever one person’s mistake, negligence or willful decision results in another person’s injury, the at-fault person should be held financially liable for the injured person’s medical care, lost wages and pain and suffering.
Motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of injuries in the nation. Driving or being a passenger in a car is the most dangerous thing most people do daily. Cars are big, heavy and go fast. Collisions are common, and these collisions often result in serious injuries. You (and your insurance company) shouldn’t be forced to pay for someone else’s mistake.

Try to take pictures of the accident scene before the vehicles are moved. At the very least you should take pictures of your vehicle damage and the other driver’s vehicle damage. Also try to take pictures of any debris or skid marks that may have resulted from the crash.
Car accident injury claims are based on your medical costs. If you don’t go to see a doctor to get diagnosed and treated, it can be incredibly difficult to tie the car accident to any adverse results you’ve suffered. The insurance company will question the validity of your claim if you wait for days or weeks before seeing a doctor or if you don’t see a doctor at all.
Other than checking on the occupants of the other vehicle to ascertain whether they require emergency assistance, you should minimize your discussions with them. Trade insurance information, tell police your side of events (if necessary) and then
