What should I do if I am involved in an auto accident?

Auto accidents happen to even the safest of drivers. One minute, you can be driving down the road, heading home from work or out running errands, and in the next you could be involved in a potentially serious accident resulting in injuries that can be severe and life-threatening.

At Northland Injury Law, our Kansas City car accident lawyers have extensive experience in handling these types of cases, and we understand the impact they can have on every area of your life. Your injuries may require ongoing medical care and treatment, while preventing you from working or even enjoying hobbies and social activities with those you love.

Although every case is different, the following are among the most frequently asked auto accident questions we hear from our clients.

  • What should I do if I am involved in an auto accident?
    • There are a few steps you should take after an auto accident to protect your health and your rights to compensation:
      • Get medical attention.Even if you don’t think you’re injured, the most important priority is getting medical attention right away, as some injuries may be internal or may take time to show.
      • Write down what happened. The details of the accident are important for your attorney, but they may get hazy over time. Write down what happened and take photos as soon as you can after the accident.
      • Talk to witnesses.Witness statements can help strengthen your claim for compensation. Get their names, phone numbers, physical addresses, and email addresses, as your attorney will be interested in speaking with them.
      • Call a lawyer.The insurance company may soon try to get you to sign away your rights to compensation but calling an attorney immediately after the accident can help you stay protected.

When it comes to a lawsuit after an accident or injury, representation matters! Most people do not realize that insurance companies have teams of lawyers, investigators, photographers and defense experts who immediately go to work following a serious accident involving their insureds.  They hire these people to minimize their exposure throughout the claims process and to reduce the amount received by the victim. Northland Injury Law aims to level the playing field for their clients.
