ACCIDENTS
I was in a car accident -- what should I do?
If you have been in a motor vehicle accident, it is important that you remain calm and take several precautionary steps. If you feel you have sustained an injury, you should seek medical attention immediately. In the case of serious injury, you should allow fire rescue to transport you from the scene to an emergency room. Some injuries, such as back and neck problems, are not immediately noticeable but can later cause significant pain. If this is the case, you should promptly seek medical attention.
Can an attorney help me if the other driver does not have insurance?
Yes. A qualified attorney can help you receive compensation either from your own insurance company, providing you have uninsured motorist's coverage. In some cases, compensation can be obtained from the other driver's own assets. Contact an attorney to learn about the options in your particular case.
Can I afford to hire an auto accident attorney?
Yes. In most cases, you will not be charged any fees unless your case is won. Then the lawyer's fees will be paid as a percentage of your award. This means that you will not owe any money up front.
