When a person first gets involved in an automobile accident, they will want to do several things to ensure that they get medical attention if needed, they get information about the other party, and that they get legal representation when they need it.
First Steps
Right after an automobile accident, a person will want to call the local police department and if they need medical attention, an ambulance. It is very important that there is a police report made. If the other person is at fault, and information about them is not recorded, the person involved in the wreck may not be able to get the insurance information out of the other party. Not getting the insurance company’s name can leave a person with having to pay for vehicle repairs and health care needs.
Calling an Attorney
After a person has been checked out and a police report has been taken, they will want to call an attorney that is experienced in auto accidents like Shindler & Shindler. A person that has been involved in a wreck will never want to go through it by themselves. The insurance company will try to get the settlement for as low as possible. Or they may try to say that their client was not at fault. Having an experienced law firm, that knows all the ins and outs of the law will help to ensure that a person gets the compensation that they need and deserve after an auto accident.
