Protect Your Rights With The Help Of A Sedalia Car Wreck Attorney After An Auto Accident

By Ivy Catubig


If you are in an automobile accident and it is not your fault you are entitled to certain rights under the laws of most states. If you suffer injuries due to the negligent actions of someone else on the road, and their actions cause you bodily harm in a car accident you need to preserve your rights for compensation. Never admit guilt.

If you suffer injuries in a car accident the very first thing you do is call 911 and seek medical help for yourself. The police will respond and document what happened to you and note your injuries. Even if you feel alright and think you have no injuries, allow an emergency physical exam you. Your injuries may not be apparent right away but appear in the days and weeks to follow. Be sure to follow strictly follow the doctor's orders. If you are asked to follow up with your primary doctor, be sure to do this.

Legally, you should be paid for the damages incurred. That is why you should get the information of the guilty party. Ask them for their name and contact details. Also, get information about their insurer.

Avoid talking to your insurance company or the other person's insurer on your own. Let your lawyer represent you.

You or someone you appoint must get pictures of the accident and all the possible details of the accident documented as soon as possible, along with a copy of the police report. It is your right to receive a police report.

Get the details of the witnesses, so that you can get in touch with them later on. The eye witnesses will substantiate your story and give it more credibility. This increases your chances of being fairly compensated.

It is your right to keep a running list of expenses such as medical bills, lost time from work, and damage to your property. When able, get at least three written and signed estimates of damages to your property.

It is your right to hire a Sedalia car wreck attorney who can be persistent and who looks out for your welfare in the future depending on how long you must deal with your injuries and especially if they are life-changing. Your only hope is a fair and just compensation.
