Simple Steps to Protect Yourself  After a Car Accident 

109all

Stay on the Scene 

Do not leave the scene of the accident, as this can be considered a hit-and-run. If at all possible, move your vehicle out of traffic to the shoulder. 

Call for Help

If anyone involved in the accident needs medical assistance, call 9-1-1. You should also call the police to alert them of the accident and begin the process of obtaining a police report.

Gather Evidence 

If safe to do so, take pictures or videos of the vehicles involved in the accident, the scene of the accident, as well as any resulting injuries.

Do Not Apologize 

Whether or not you think the accident was your fault, do not apologize. Doing so can be viewed as an admission of fault and may be used against you in the future.

Various conditions and circumstances can lead to car accidents..

The Importance  of Determining the Cause 

One of our Oklahoma City firm's responsibilities in your case will be determining the cause of your accident. Often, the cause of the accident will directly point to the responsible party and who we should file a lawsuit against. 

For example, if your accident was caused by a drunk driver, we can pursue damages against an individual. But if your accident was caused by a poorly maintained road, we may have grounds for a premise liability lawsuit against a larger group. 

Therefore, the cause of your accident will directly influence how we pursue your case. 

There are two ways to recover compensation...

Consider Your Legal Options

Insurance Claim 

When you file an insurance claim, the other driver's insurance company will be responsible for compensating you for losses. Filing an insurance claim is typically a faster process because insurance companies may try to get you to quickly settle the claim, offering you the lowest possible amount. But a lawyer can help you negotiate a fair and full settlement. 

Lawsuit

If the insurance provider is acting unjustly, an attorney can file a lawsuit on your behalf and represent you throughout the process. If your attorney is unable to negotiate a more favorable settlement with the insurance company outside of court, they may choose to take the case to trial in an attempt to win a higher jury award.
