Your First Steps After a Car, Truck or Motorcycle Accident
In the moments after an accident, it’s hard to think straight. But the sooner you get your bearings and think clearly, the easier it is for you to protect both your physical health and your personal injury claim. Some of your first steps after a car, semi truck or motorcycle collision should include:
- Reporting it to the police: You can call the non-emergency line of the Beaumont Police Department for minor collisions or call 911 for more serious crashes. Even if the other party does not want to involve the police, reporting the accident is in your best interest.
- Identifying injuries: When you call to report the accident, let the operator know if there are any visible injuries on you or your passengers. They may need to send an ambulance or other forms of assistance.
- Exchanging contact information: Exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver. This will help your insurance expedite your claim.
- Gathering evidence: You only get one chance to document the crash scene. Take photos and video footage, and make sure to back up everything to an external hard drive or cloud-based storage drive. Anything supporting your side of events may help your personal injury claim.
- Seeking medical care: Look into local urgent care facilities and emergency rooms so you can get checked out right away. Even if you think you’re fine and have no injuries, it doesn’t hurt to check for hidden injuries that could lead to problems down the road.
Using the Resources in Your Community
As you work through your accident recovery, don’t be afraid to use resources available in Beaumont. Support groups can help accident survivors process their mental trauma and discuss their trauma in a safe place. Physical therapists and occupational therapists can help you regain physical and daily living skills that you may have lost to serious injuries. Local attorneys are in a good position to help you hold the negligent party accountable for their unsafe driving.
The Importance of Strong Legal Representation
Car accidents can be extraordinary experiences for victims, especially when you account for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and damage to your vehicle. However, you can’t expect the insurance company to do the right thing and pay up what you’re owed. They will do whatever is best for their bottom line—and that means paying you as little as possible.
What does it take to get a fair settlement? You need an attorney who isn’t afraid to go to court and who knows what type of evidence will make the insurance company play fair. With our decades of experience as reflected in our client testimonials, we know what it takes to make insurance companies take your claim seriously. While you attend your doctors’ appointments and begin the road to recovery, we can address your legal needs.
