Car Accidents

After a car accident, most people are likely shaken and unsure of what to do next. However, if you have suffered property damage or injury in an accident that is not your fault, there are certain steps you should take to help ensure you will receive compensation for your injuries. First, seek medical attention if necessary and make sure doctors thoroughly document the full extent and severity of your injuries. Next, do not speak to the responsible party’s insurance company, as they will work to use even the most benign comments against you in settlement or in court. Take detailed notes of your version of the events that occurred, and take photographs of your injuries and of all the damage to your car. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, you should contact an experienced car accident attorney at Kochan & Kochan, P.C. to help you hold the other party responsible for causing the accident. Proving fault in a car accident case may sometimes be more complicated than you might imagine, and we are here to ensure you receive full compensation for your injuries from the liable party.
