What’s Next for You
After you’ve been in a car accident, you need to know which steps to take next. If you follow these actions, that will make your legal defense that much better.
If you or someone else on the scene has been injured, then your first step is to get medical attention. Even if it’s a small injury, you’ll want to document the treatment so you can be compensated for it later.
If the accident was severe, if you don’t know who caused it, or if anyone was injured you will need to call the police. When they arrive on the scene, be sure to also ask for their names, badge numbers, and the case number on the report for later.
Your car insurance company will be covering your injuries and car damages, so you’ll want to report the accident as soon as you can.
If your car isn’t driveable, you’ll need to call a tow truck to take it to an auto repair shop. Be sure to record the driver’s information and keep track of the towing cost as well.
You’ll want to document the interior and exterior of both cars, road conditions, the location, weather, and any injuries if you’re able to. These photos and videos will later be used as evidence when negotiating your insurance claim.
Before you even call your insurance company, you’ll want to call a lawyer. They can instruct you on your next steps and what you should and shouldn’t say to your insurance company, the police, and the other driver.
After you take these actions, we will take you the rest of the way. To provide you with the best defense, we will even go as far as taking your case to court to get you the justice you deserve. We’re so confident in our legal defense that we won’t charge you until after you win. Check out our Car Accident Tips to learn about what you should do, and shouldn’t do, after an auto accident.
How Your Insurance Company Works Against You
When seeking compensation after your car accident, you not only have the $10,000 limit of PIP working against you, but you also have your insurance company working against you. As a for-profit business, their job is to settle your case as quickly and as cheaply as possible. These are some of the tactics insurance companies will use against you and the tactics Pebble Creek auto accident lawyer David A. Papa can protect you from.
WHERE WE PRACTICE
Protection Against Unjust Costs and Inflated Rates
Even if you aren’t injured in your car accident, it’s still important to know your options. Since each person in the accident is responsible for using their insurance to pay for damages, it can cause your insurance rate to skyrocket. Hiring a lawyer after your auto accident can protect you from unjust costs and inflated rates. Here’s how Pebble Creek auto accident lawyer David A. Papa can help you get the most out of your insurance settlement.
While you may be worried about the expenses you have to pay now, David A. Papa is thinking about the expenses you’ll have to pay in the future. When negotiating your insurance settlement, David A. Papa will be sure to include future costs like physical therapy, chiropractic care, mobility aids, therapy sessions, and more so you are covered now and later.
To receive your settlement, you first need to prove that the amount you’re asking for is justified. Your insurance company will require you to provide a burden of proof to legitimize your claim. That will include:
- Duty of Care: The at-fault driver had a responsibility to prevent accidents and possible injuries.
- Duty Violation: The at-fault driver didn’t fulfill their duty of care, resulting in injuries and damages.
- Cause and Effect: Their negligence directly caused your injury and damages.
- You Suffered Damages: Because of the accident, you have lost wages, medical expenses, damage to your car, etc.
At Papa Injury Law, we are very familiar with these standards and know what evidence your insurance company is looking for when supporting your claim. By hiring David A. Papa, you can not only take the burden of proof off of you, but you can also maximize your settlement.
After your car accident, call a lawyer first. While you may want to talk to your insurance company, police, or the other driver, it is often a bad idea and your lawyer will tell you that. Even a simple, “I’m fine” can be used against you when applying for an insurance claim later. David A. Papa will also advise you to not make any recorded statements to the police or your insurance company without him present.

After a car accident, you’ll want a lawyer that treats you and your case with priority. A local Pebble Creek auto accident lawyer, like David A. Papa, makes sure that each client receives personalized care. He’s available 24/7 for whatever you might need. Another benefit of hiring a local lawyer is that he has connections in your area.
