Obviously, the first thing to do is make sure that you and your passengers are all OK and it's safe to get out. Once you exit the vehicle, ensure that everyone involved in the accident is safe or being attended to by others. After that comes the task looking over the damage to your vehicle and the other cars. Hopefully it's nothing more than a minor fender bender.
However, in some cases car accidents can obviously lead to some nasty damages. If this is the case, it's important to immediately call the police and take pictures of the scene. Unfortunately, some people have begun to lie after an accident to avoid losing in a lawsuit.
Once you've left the accident scene, you need to call your insurance company and also a lawyer. Your insurance company is NOT your lawyer. It's important to realize this. They want to pay as little as possible. They also have no incentive to get money for your medical damages. This is when you call Michele Garza over at the Garza Law Firm in Austin, Texas.
She will meet with you and let you know the odds in your case. It's possible you don't have that great of a case. But it's important you know that. It's also possible that you have a great case. Michele will be honest and up front with you.
