Common Car Accident FAQ’s No matter how careful you are when driving, there is always a chance that you will be involved in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence. If being hurt in a car accident isn’t bad enough, the way you are sometimes treated by the insurance companies and their attorneys can sometimes be even more difficult to deal with. My experience is that insurance companies will try their best to deny or reduce the value of your claim. Even when they are legally required to pay your claim, they will delay doing so if they can. You must remember that insurance companies are in the business of making money and they are not trying to pay out on claims if they can avoid it. It is important to be prepared and ready before an accident happens so that your actions after the fact can make the difference in your personal injury claim. Here are some of the most common questions we get from clients regarding motor vehicle accidents:
Should I talk to the police following a car accident? Yes, of course. You should fully cooperate with the authorities and explain how the accident occurred. However, don’t admit fault for the accident, even if you think you have some share of the blame.
Should I get medical treatment after a crash? Should I receive medical treatment after an accident? You should always seek medical attention after being involved in a car accident, even if you believe you have not been injured. Often, a person experiences an adrenaline rush after a car accident. You feel confused, confused, and anxious about your family or possibly your car. Sometimes a person hurts himself but does not feel symptoms until the next day, or even after several days. It is always best to be safe when seen at a local emergency room or by your doctor. Waiting too long to be examined by a doctor can hurt your chances of achieving a fair recovery on your claim.
What happens if I leave the scene of the accident? Accidents happen to even the most careful drivers. The immediate shock of an automobile accident may cause feelings of anger and panic. Get control of your emotions an act rationally to assess the situation. Leaving the scene of an accident in Florida can be a felony that may be punishable by incarceration and fines. There is seldom excuse for leaving the scene of a crash.
