What Should I Do If I Got in a Car Accident?

As though suffering an accident isn’t bad enough, it can be just as miserable to deal with the insurance company after the fact. These massive companies will often do everything they can to avoid paying out claims. It is important that you take the proper steps to protect your right to compensation after an accident.

If you’ve been in a car accident in New Orleans, follow these tips and contact an accident lawyer from The Womac Law Firm as soon as possible:

• Do not leave the scene of the accident. In Louisiana, it is against the law to leave the scene of an accident without stopping, providing your identity, and offering reasonable aid. What’s more, there can be serious injuries in even a minor accident, so stay at the scene until police and/or paramedics arrive.
• Check for injuries. Check yourself and others for injuries immediately after the accident. If anyone is injured, do not move them but instead call 911 and request an ambulance right away. If you do not need emergency attention, you should still see a doctor as soon as possible after the accident.
• Call the police. Always call the police after a car accident. You are required by law to report any accident that results in injury, death, and/or property damage valued at more than $500. Police officers will collect information, investigate the crash, determine who was at fault, and write an official police report. This can help your insurance claim and any liability claims.
• Get as much information as you can. If possible, get the contact information of other drivers, passengers, and witnesses. Be sure to write down the license plate numbers and insurance information of any involved drivers. Take pictures of the accident scene and your injuries, as well. All of this can be used as evidence in your claim.
• Do not admit responsibility. Exchange information and be honest but realize that even a simple apology can be used against you. You might think you were responsible for the accident and later learn that the other driver was equally or even more at fault than you. Always avoid admitting or assigning blame after the accident.
• Seek medical attention. Many car accident injuries can show up days or weeks later. Help your recovery by getting treatment as soon as possible, even if you believe you were not injured or that your injuries are not serious. Medical records are also vital to your accident claim, so the sooner you see a doctor after the accident, the better.
• Contact an attorney. If you have been injured in an accident, reach out to an experienced personal injury lawyer at The Womac Law Firm. Insurance companies often refuse to pay the full value of injury claims until a lawyer makes them. Our team of attorneys will fight hard for every dollar you deserve on a no recovery, no fee basis.
