Motor Vehicle Accidents

A serious traffic accident creates both medical and legal urgencies in many cases.  Your legal representation may be just as important as your medical treatment in the long run in the overall outcome of your recovery.

 

If you were injured or your loved one died in a car crash, you are well advised to contact a personal injury lawyer promptly.

 

REPORT THE ACCIDENT TO THE POLICE -
CONSULT WITH A KNOWLEDGEABLE LAWYER

Of course you should cooperate with the police at the time of the accident.

 

However, it is usually best not to talk to anyone else about the accident until you have legal representation.  It is in your best interests in the long run to have an attorney serve as your advocate, especially in dealings with insurance company representatives.  Insurance claims adjusters naturally have their companies’ best interests in mind.  They want to limit liability and avoid paying out any more in benefits than they can get away with.  For this and other reasons, you are strongly encouraged to seek out an attorney whom you can trust.

 

The Law Offices of Richard C. Woods knows how to develop and present winning strategies for use in negotiations or in court.

 

WHOSE FAULT?

Whether you think the auto accident is your fault or someone else’s fault, it is essential that you get proper medical care right away.  Injuries that are documented at the time of the accident make for a much more compelling case later.  Don’t make a leg injury, a back injury or a head injury worse by failing to get proper medical treatment.  In most cases, PIP insurance coverage will pay for these initial medical expenses.

 

Often, car accident victims leave the scene of an accident and go home shaken but in one piece after a crash.  Later, they may experience symptoms such as headaches, back pain or vertigo, but fail to recognize the connection between the crash and the symptoms that develop later.
