If you’ve been injured in a car wreck, the aftermath can be overwhelming—especially if you’re dealing with medical bills, lost income, or an insurance company that’s giving you the runaround. At Durant Law, we’re here to help you understand your legal rights and what steps you should take to protect yourself.
What Should You Do After a Car Accident?
- Call 911 and make sure the police respond to the scene.
- Seek medical attention even if you feel okay—some injuries may not show symptoms right away.
- Gather evidence if you’re able, including photos, witness contact info, and a copy of the police report.
- Contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
Common Injuries in Car Accidents
- Whiplash and neck injuries
- Back and spinal injuries
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
- Broken bones and fractures
- Soft tissue damage
Even “minor” accidents can cause serious injuries that impact your daily life.
Insurance Companies Are Not on Your Side
Insurance adjusters may seem friendly, but their goal is to pay as little as possible. They may try to:
- Get you to settle quickly before you know the full extent of your injuries
- Use your statements against you
- Downplay or deny valid claims
That’s why it’s so important to speak with an attorney before accepting any settlement.
What Compensation Can You Recover?
If someone else’s negligence caused your accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Permanent disability or disfigurement
At Durant Law, we fight to make sure you get every dollar you deserve.
