Helping You Recover
Car accidents are traumatic events, and they often have lasting impacts on your health and wallet. However, it doesn’t have to change your life. Auto accident lawyer David A. Papa can help you get the settlement you need so you can recover and move forward after your accident.
Guiding Your Next Steps
At the scene after your accident, it’s perfectly normal to feel disoriented and unsure of what to do next. But we can help guide you through it. By following these steps, you can set yourself up for your insurance claim and start your journey toward recovery.
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 your car accident, what you don’t do is just as important as what you do. To prevent yourself from making any mistakes or negatively affecting your settlement, check out our Car Accident Tips. With our guidelines, you can set yourself up for the best defense.
How David A. Papa Protects You
When you work with your insurance company after your accident, it may seem like they are there to help you. However, your settlement is not their priority, their profits are.

WHERE WE PRACTICE
Get the Most Out of Your Settlement
Your Tarpon Springs auto accident lawyer is not only here to protect you, he’s here to maximize your settlement too. Here are some ways David A. Papa can help you get the amount you need.
When you file for your insurance claim, you may be thinking of the current bills you have to cover, but your lawyer is considering your future expenses too. This could include therapy, chiropractic care, mobility aids, and more. When negotiating your settlement, your lawyer will be sure to include all costs you need to cover 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.
It’s not uncommon for people after an accident to say the wrong thing to the wrong person. If you say a simple “I’m fine” or “I’m sorry,” then those statements can be used against you later and complicate your settlement. By having David A. Papa on your side, he can advise you what to say and what not to say in these situations.
