What To Do If I Am Injured In Auto Accident That Is Not My Fault?
If you are injured in an auto accident that is another motorist’s fault, the first thing you should do is call the police if you are able. Do not speak to the other motorist except for the purpose of exchanging insurance information. It is important to remember that anything you say can be used against you if a lawsuit results. Once you provide a detailed statement to the responding officer, seek medical treatment immediately. It is important to document your injuries so that you can be compensated for them at a later time.
After seeking medical treatment, contact an attorney to discuss whether you have a claim. Remember, NEVER speak to the at-fault motorist’s insurance carrier without first contacting an attorney. The at-fault motorist’s insurance carrier will do everything in its power to limit your claim, so it is important to retain experienced counsel to represent your interests.
