I know, it is easier said than done, but what you do in those critical moments after an auto accident could make ALL the difference! Everyone understands that accidents happen, even to careful drivers. After a vehicle accident, you might be stunned, dizzy with adrenaline, or enraged at the guy who ran the red light.

Here are some steps to take that you can memorize in a quiet moment like this…

1.  Check immediately for injuries

2.  See if you can move the vehicles to a safer area

3.  Exchange info. with the other driver

4.  Take plenty of photos of the scene

 5.  Decide if filing a claim is even necessary

Financial Compensation in an Auto Accident Case.

Perhaps you have heard that insurance adjusters use some sort of secret mathematical formula to figure out how much compensation should be paid in a particular personal injury settlement. The formula doesn’t actually determine how much compensation someone receives. It is just a device that insurance adjusters use to begin the process.

The insurance company must decide how much to pay the injured party for…

-Medical bills and related expenses

-Lost wages

-Pain and suffering

-Loss of family and other social experiences

-Any permanent disability
