Questions About Car Accidents
What compensation am I entitled to after an auto accident?
Each automobile accident lawsuit is unique. Although unique circumstances, injuries and damages generally surround each auto accident, an experienced auto accident attorney may acquire you compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Car repairs or replacement, if necessary
- Rental car costs while your car is being repaired
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages
Should I accept medical treatment regardless of how I feel?
Yes. By refusing medical treatment at the site of a car accident, you may be limiting the financial compensation you may otherwise be entitled to.
Immediately after an accident, our bodies become consumed with adrenaline, which may hide signs of injury. If you refuse medical treatment and later recognize injuries, an insurance company may accuse you of deceitful behavior, thus limiting the compensation you may receive.
What should I do after an auto accident?
Immediately after an auto accident, it is important to notify the police and call for medical assistance. During this time, it is essential that you maintain a clear head and do not become overwhelmed by swirling emotions. Additionally, be certain to exchange personal information with other parties, including phone numbers, names, license plate numbers, insurance information and addresses.
Once these initial steps are taken, you can pursue objectives that may maximize your compensation, including:
- Photographing the accident site and injuries
- Consulting with potential witnesses and exchanging personal information
- Cooperating with police
The insurance company wants a statement—should I provide them with one?
Upon learning a statement is requested, you should call the law offices of Jerrold Mayro before providing such a statement. Issues like whose insurance company is requesting it makes a difference.
I admitted guilt to the accident but was not to blame. Will this inhibit my compensation?
After an auto accident, you should always refrain from blurting out guilt or apologies. Such behavior may reduce the amount of compensation you would otherwise be entitled to or even preclude you from getting compensation.
Why do I need an automobile accident attorney?
It is rare that those involved in an auto accident fully behave in a manner that maximizes the compensation they are entitled to. A skilled, auto accident attorney can survey the facts of your case and circumnavigate behavior that insurance companies or other attorneys may attempt to misconstrue as incriminating.
