There are so many things to consider after an Orlovista car accident that you may not know exactly what to prioritize first. After you file a police report and seek medical attention, subsequent calls to your insurance company and perhaps even that of the other party could be the point at which any claim for compensation you might have falls apart. Saying too much in the immediate aftermath of a car accident can bite you in unexpected ways. This is especially true if you plan to hire an Orlovista car accident lawyer to pursue compensation for the collision.
After you file a police report and seek medical attention, your next call should be to the team at Wooten, Kimbrough, Damaso & Dennis P.A. We will advise you on the best next steps for your situation to guard against divulging any information that might complicate your efforts to file a compensation claim.
Orlovista Car Accident Dos and Don’ts
After an Orlovista car accident, there are a few things to keep in mind to preserve your rights in the situation. These dos and don’ts can help you protect yourself after a collision.
Do Call the Police and Emergency Medical Services
Even if the collision in question seems small and everyone doesn’t appear to be injured, it is still prudent to call the cops and EMS. Medical personnel should check everyone on the scene to ensure nothing underlying is happening from a medical perspective. Also, you need the police report to file a claim with your insurance company and possibly pursue compensation.
Do Take Lots of Photos, if Possible
If you can take pictures of the accident, including details of both vehicles, it may help once you reach out to an Orlovista car accident lawyer. Sometimes, your memory of the accident is not as vivid as you think. Photos can help reconstruct precisely what happened and prove your side of the story.
Don’t Discuss the Situation With the Other Party
The last thing you want to do is say anything incriminating that the other party can use against you in their pursuit of compensation for the collision. Don’t discuss who was at fault or who may have been the one to cause the collision. Exchange insurance information and personal contact specifics, and then say nothing else until you speak with a Maitland car accident lawyer.
Don’t Allow Your Insurance Company to Record Your Conversations
Many insurance companies will ask to record any conversations you may have about the collision. Decline this request. You are not required by law to allow them to record the conversation. This is imperative because insurance companies will do whatever it takes to deny your compensation claim. Their goal is to pay out as little as possible. Allowing them to record the conversation means they can take what you say and try to use it against you down the road.
