WHAT TO DO AFTER YOU GET INTO AN ACCIDENT

Call Skilled Counsel After an Auto Truck Crash

Being involved in even a minor car accident can be very unsettling. You don’t know what your rights are, how severe your injuries are or how you will manage to get the car replaced or fixed. Injuries from a catastrophic auto/truck crash tend to be more severe, with costly medical bills and months of lost wages. Should you file a lawsuit?

When you need a friend, turn to a skilled personal injury lawyer at Courtney & Molter, who can advise you what to do after a car accident.

First, get the medical attention you need after a car or truck crash, then call our Milwaukee offices at 414-224-6070

Not sure what to do after a car accident ? We advise clients to follow these simple rules.

  • Stay on the accident scene, and render assistance to the injured. Under the Good Samaritan law of Wisconsin, you are not liable for damages.
  • Call the police and provide complete information about the accident.
  • Exchange insurance and contact information with the other driver, including insurance information. Do not talk about the accident, and do not admit fault.
  • Get the names, numbers and addresses of witnesses.
  • Remember to file a “Driver’s Report of Accident” within 10 days.
  • Take pictures at the scene with a digital camera or phone camera.
  • Seek appropriate medical attention.

It is OK to talk to the police about the accident, but do not talk to anyone else about it. Call a car accident attorney at our firm for a free initial consultation as soon as you can. We can advise you of your rights, answer your questions and recommend next steps for compensation. Our attorneys get to work right away to obtain a copy of the police report and help you file a claim with the insurance company.

We know what to do after a car accident. We have significant experience in dealing with insurance companies, and negotiate assertively to protect your interests and win damages for your car accident injury.
