What Steps Should You Take Following A Car Crash In Merrillville, Indiana?
After a car accident, make sure you take the following steps
- Make sure everyone is okay
- Call the police and paramedics
- Document the scene of the accident
- Report the accident to your insurance company
- Seek medical attention
After you’ve done all of these, make sure you call an attorney if you end up having a serious injury. We can help evaluate the situation and determine the amount you need to recover from your injury. To learn more about how we can help, call us at 219-561-0263.
Should You Accept The First Settlement Offer From An Insurance Company?
No, we do not advise this. In many cases, an insurer may try to offer you a lowball settlement, which can be significantly less than the amount you need to cover medical treatment and time away from work. Before you accept the offer, make sure you contact us first. We can help determine whether the settlement amount is enough. And, if it isn’t, we can work with the insurance company to help you pursue the amount you need.
What Are The Most Common Causes Of Car Accidents?
They can include:
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
- Texting behind the wheel.
- Engaging in distracted driving, such as eating, drinking, talking on the phone or simply not looking at the road.
- Driving in dangerous weather conditions
- Reckless driving
- Drowsy driving
- Vehicle defects
- Failing to obey traffic laws
No matter how the negligence of another driver results in an accident, you deserve compensation to help pay for your recovery.
