What to Do After a Car Accident in Elmsford
If you were just in a crash, there are generally a few important first steps.
1. Call the police
A police report can help your case later. It will document the accident scene and help pin down the key details about what happened.
2. Get medical help
Even if you feel okay, go see a doctor. Better to be safe than sorry, especially because there can be “invisible injuries” like concussions that you might not realize you have. A trained doctor might be able to spot them and get you the immediate care that you need.
3. Take pictures
If you can safely take photos at the scene of the accident, the road conditions, or your injuries, that can be great evidence in a car accident case.
4. Get contact info of witnesses
If you’re physically able to and it’s otherwise safe to do so, getting the names and phone numbers of other witnesses at the scene can go a long way. It’s also obviously important to get the insurance information for any other vehicles involved in the crash.
5. Call a lawyer
Shortly after the accident, you’ll likely get calls from insurance adjusters wanting to talk to you on the phone. It’s highly advisable that you consult with an attorney first because these adjusters can try to get you to say things that could later hurt your chances of recovering full and fair compensation.
What Can You Get Compensation For?
Depending on the circumstances and extent of your injuries, you may be able to recover compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Car repairs or replacement
- Lost wages (if you missed work)
- Pain and suffering
Additionally, if your car accident happened while you were working, the Law Office of Michael J. McConnell also handles Elmsford workers’ compensation claims, which means we can handle both your workers’ compensation and personal injury case related to the car accident so that you don’t have to hire two different law firms.
How a Local Car Accident Attorney Can Help
Insurance companies have adjusters, lawyers, and other resources working to protect their interests. You deserve someone on your side to level the playing field.
A local Westchester County car accident attorney can deal with the insurance companies, investigate your accident, gather evidence, document your injuries, and fight for full and fair compensation.
You’ll also pay no attorney’s fee unless we win your case, so that way you don’t need to worry about how to pay for a lawyer upfront.
