What information do I need to obtain at the scene of my car accident ? car accident lawyer can help you recover money to pay (accident-related) bills
However, if you are the victim of a car accident, you should also consider whether a car accident lawyer can help you recover money to pay (accident-related) bills and compensate for your pain and suffering.
If an accident is serious enough to cause death or serious injury, or if alcohol is involved, the state may prosecute the driver at fault. But with all other car accidents, you, other drivers, and your insurance company may have to deal with medical bills and car repairs. These issues are usually resolved in court.
Cause of car accident
There are many reasons for car accidents. Among the more common:
1. Driver distractions, including drivers calling or texting, tricking others into having an accident, playing music, observing scenery, paying attention to other passengers
2. Drowsy drivers, including drivers who drive for more than two hours, drivers who drive late at night or after a large meal, and drivers who take drugs that can cause drowsiness
3. Drivers with walking disabilities, even if the driver does not exceed the legal alcohol limit acceleration.
4. Aggressive driving, including tailgating, holding back, yelling or making rude gestures at other drivers, ignoring traffic signs, and changing lanes frequently
5. Weather includes rain, snow, fog, ice, sleet and wind.
If you are a car accident victim
Victims of a car crash may include the driver of the car, passengers, bystanders, and even the injured person's spouse.
All car accident victims have the potential to recover money from other drivers, car owners and even the driver's employer to pay for damage to your car, your current and future medical bills, and any permanent damage you may have suffered. You can even get punitive damages designed to punish other drivers for their actions.
If other drivers' insurance companies contact you, you don't need to provide them with any information other than your basic contact information. Also, don't feel pressured to describe your injury to them immediately. A personal injury attorney who deals with car accident injuries can help you negotiate with other drivers' insurance companies or decide whether your case should go to court.
