Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing I should do after an accident?

If you are in a car accident, wait for help to arrive. Make sure the police are contacted. Get the name, address, license and insurance information from the other party. Get names and phone numbers of any witnesses if possible. Contact your insurance carrier as soon as possible.

If you are at a retail store, inform the store manager or other store employee immediately. If you need assistance for your injuries, make sure the store contacts an ambulance for you. Get the names and addresses of any potential witnesses who saw the accident.

Should I report my accident to my insurance company?

If you believe your injury was caused by the carelessness or intentional act of another, you may want to contact an attorney to discuss this. You should call as soon as it is convenient to do so and avoid discussing the matter with strangers and/or insurance representatives who are not from your own insurance company.

If I make a claim with my insurance company, will my rates go up?

Not necessarily, but your report to the insurance company does have a long term affect on your case, so to insure that the report makes your claims clear and reserves your rights, consult with an attorney before submitting any report.
