Motor Vehicle Accidents
Injuries from traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for Americans from age 6 to age 33. According to national statistics, approximately 6,000,000 auto accidents occur each year, causing over 40,000 deaths and 3,000,000 injuries. If you are involved in an accident, be careful of what you say or sign. Get the names of witnesses and write them down with contact information. Get medical attention as soon as possible after the accident. If possible, take pictures of your vehicle and the other vehicle involved. Take pictures of the location where the accident took place. Claims investigators from the other driver's insurance company or representatives of your own insurance company may contact you. Other than reporting your claim to your insurance company, you should not give them statements about the accident. First, talk with a lawyer.
