things to know after a car accident
If you have been in an accident or a family member has been injured or killed in a crash, or some other incident, you have many important decisions to make. It is important for you to consider the following:
Make and keep records - If your situation involves a motor vehicle crash, regardless of who may be at fault, it is helpful to retain a copy of the police report, learn the identity of any witnesses, and obtain photographs of the scene, vehicles, and any visible injuries. Keep copies of the receipts of all your expenses and medical care related to the incident.
You do not have to sign anything - You may not want to give an interview or recorded statement without first consulting with an attorney, because the statement can be used against you. If you may be at fault or have been charged with a traffic or other offense, it may be advisable to consult an attorney right away. However, if you have insurance, your insurance policy probably requires you to cooperate with your insurance company and to provide a statement to the company. If you fail to cooperate with your insurance company, it may void your coverage.
Your interests versus interests of insurance company - Your interests and those of other persons insurance company are in conflict. Your interests may be also be in conflict with your own insurance company. Even if you are not sure who is at fault, you should contact your own insurance company and advise the company of the incident to protect your insurance coverage.
There is a time limit to file an insurance claim - Legal rights, including a file law suit, are subject to time limits. You should ask what time limits apply to your claim. You may need to act immediately to protect your right.
Get it in writing - You may want to request that any offer of settlement from anyone be put in writing, including a written explanation of the type of damages which they are willing to cover.
Legal assistance may be appropriate - You may consult with an attorney before you sign any document or release of claims. A release may cut off all future rights against others, obligate you to repay past medical bills or disability benefits, or jeopardize future benefits. If your interests conflict with your own insurance company you always have the right to discuss the matter with an attorney of your choice, which may be at your own expense.
How to find an attorney - If you need professional advice about a legal problem, but do not know an attorney, you may wish to check with relatives, friends, neighbors, your employer, or a coworkers who may be able to recommend an attorney. Your local bar association may have a lawyer referral service.
Check a lawyer’s qualifications - Before hiring any lawyer, you have the right to know the lawyer’s background, training, and experience in dealing with cases similar to yours.
How much will it cost? - In deciding whether to hire a particular lawyer, you should discuss it with the lawyer. Some require a standard fee, others are only paid if you win an insurance claim, like how Paul Hackett charges.
reviews from car accident clients
“I have unfortunately had three accidents in the past two years and these attorneys have settled every one of them! I could not be more happy with my choice to use this law firm. They even helped me out when I needed it. I couldnt contact the insurance company to get my rental and they got me the rental and even got it extended at no charge to me!!! I had all of my questions answered and the attorney even gave me his cell phone number if I had any questions. I will definitely be referring others to this law firm. I wish I could give more than 5 stars! The staff at Hackett is great too and helped me get the records and bills I needed to support my claim. Thank you for all of the work you do! Keep it up!”
“Thanks to the excellent services of Paul Hackett & Ed Long they were able to settle my automobile accident and made me more money back then I thought possible. I highly recommend going to this law office for help with an automobile accident or auto injury.”
