How you spend the time immediately after a car crash can be very valuable to your case and ultimately determine who pays for the damages. Utilizing this time is paramount to collect as much information as you can about the crash and everyone involved in the auto accident. Gather the other driver’s insurance and ID information, talk to any potential witnesses, take pictures of the vehicles including the license plate. Always remember that you have to do your best to protect yourself from these unfortunate events. Remember there is always the possibility of being involved in a hit and run, or the other drivers being under-or-uninsured. To ensure you won’t be held responsible for any damages or fees; you need to have proper insurance for yourself but also document everything that might be of value to your case.
Your health care issues will be held as an injury claim and your auto damages will be a separate claim. We are experts in helping you navigate the difficult waters of an injury claim. Until you have been in an auto collision you have never understood the difficulties that can come along with it. It is very important to seek out qualified health care providers that are familiar with personal injury cases.
These cases follow certain protocols and procedures, require very detailed documentation, and often require numerous specialties to participate. Additionally, it is your Doctors duty to provide a mechanism of injury and prove causation in your motor vehicle collision, to prove your injuries were from your car crash. These are vital steps to proving the necessity and validity of your health treatment. In the event your Doctors have to go to trial to defend your treatment and prove your injuries, you want Doctors on your side that are well versed and educated within the system. We have gone to trial on numerous occasions for our patients and will for you as well if your case goes to court.
