https://www.lvnvlawyer.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Car-of-road-accident-000059888966_Medium.jpg

If you have suffered an injury in a car accident, taking the right steps immediately can make a life-changing difference. Car accidents often cause serious physical, emotional, and financial harm, and the full impact of your injuries may not be known for days or even weeks. That is why it is critical to contact a lawyer with the experience, knowledge, and determination to properly prosecute your car accident claim.

At Goldberg & Goldberg, LLC, we bring more than sixty years of experience representing victims of catastrophic automobile accidents. Our firm is committed to providing caring guidance, aggressive advocacy, and trusted legal advice to help you through what can be one of the most difficult times of your life.


Why You Need a Car Accident Lawyer After a Serious Crash

Car accidents are rarely simple. Insurance companies work aggressively to reduce or deny legitimate claims, often before you fully understand the extent of your injuries. A qualified car accident lawyer protects your rights and ensures that all damages are properly identified and pursued.

Common damages in car accident cases include:

  • Medical expenses (current and future)
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement
  • Emotional distress
  • Property damage

Because some injuries are latent and appear weeks after a collision, settling too early can cost you significantly. An experienced car accident attorney ensures that your claim reflects the true value of your losses, not just what is immediately visible.


What to Do Immediately After a Car Accident

If you are physically able, gathering information at the accident scene is extremely important. These details may become crucial evidence later in your case.

Key information to collect includes:

  • The other driver’s name and address
  • Insurance company and policy number
  • Vehicle registration details
  • Names and contact information of witnesses
  • Photos of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and injuries

Even small details can make a major difference when prosecuting a car accident claim.


Do Not Speak to Insurance Adjusters or Investigators

One of the most important rules after a car accident is this: do not make statements to insurance adjusters or private investigators.

These individuals work for insurance companies, not for you. What may seem like a harmless or polite comment can later be twisted and used to weaken your case. Even statements made days after the accident can be damaging.

If you are contacted, politely state that you are unable to make a statement at this time. Then speak with a qualified car accident lawyer who can communicate on your behalf and protect your interests.


Seek Immediate Medical Attention—Even If You Feel Fine

After a car accident, it is critically important to be examined by a medical doctor as soon as possible. Many auto accident injuries, such as soft tissue damage, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, do not fully present symptoms right away.

A medical professional is trained to:

  • Identify hidden or delayed injuries
  • Document your injuries properly
  • Begin treatment that supports your recovery and your legal claim

Prompt medical care protects both your health and your right to full compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents

How long do I have to file a car accident claim?

The time limit depends on state law. Waiting too long can permanently bar your claim, so it is best to speak with a lawyer immediately.

What if my injuries appear days after the accident?

Delayed injuries are common in car accidents. Medical documentation and legal guidance are essential to protect your claim.

Should I accept the insurance company’s first offer?

No. Initial offers are often far below the true value of your damages. Always consult a lawyer first.

What if the other driver was uninsured?

You may still have options through uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. A lawyer can review your policy.

Do I need a lawyer if the accident was minor?

Even seemingly minor accidents can result in serious injuries. Legal advice ensures your rights are protected.

How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?

Most car accident cases are handled on a contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing unless compensation is recovered.
