Car accidents happen when we least expect it and they often leave a devastating impact on our lives. At AG Law Group, we understand that car accidents can be strenuous on your body and mental health. Don’t let the process be more stressful than it needs to be. Our ultimate goal is for our clients to focus on receiving the medical care they need to maximize recovery while we fight for justice and ensure that the insurance company does not take advantage of you.
In the event of a car accident, its essential to take several immediate steps to ensure your safety and protect your legal interests:
- Check for injuries: First and foremost, check yourself, passengers, and others involved in the accident for injuries. If anyone is injured, call emergency services immediately.
- Safety First: If possible, move your vehicle to a safe location away from traffic to prevent further accidents or injuries. Turn on hazard lights to alert other drivers.
- Call the Police: Contact law enforcement to report the accident, especially if there are injuries, significant damage, or dispute over fault. Request a police report, and provide accurate information about the location and circumstances of the accident.
- Exchange Information: Exchange contact, insurance, and vehicle information with the other parties involved in the accident. Gather names, phone numbers, addresses, driver’s license numbers, license plate numbers, and insurance policy details.
- Document the Scene: Take photos and videos of the accident scene, including vehicle damage, injuries, road conditions, skid marks, traffic signs, and any other relevant details. This documentation can be valuable evidence later.
- Witness Information: Obtain contact information from any witnesses to the accident. Their statements may help support your version of events if there is a dispute.
- Limit Discussion: Avoid admitting fault or assigning blame at the scene of the accident. Stick to the facts when speaking with the police, other drivers, or witnesses.
- Seek Medical Attention: Even if you feel fine, its important to seek medical attention promptly after an accident. Some injuries may not be immediately apparent, and documentation of injuries is essential for insurance claims and legal proceedings.
- Consult with an Attorney: If you’ve been injured or face significant property damage, consider consulting with a personal injury attorney who specializes in car accidents. They can advise you on your rights, help navigate the claims process, and advocate for fair compensation on your behalf.
Throughout the years we have seen some common mistakes victims have made following an accident. We understand that when you’re not at-fault you may think the facts are clear and there’s no reason to be overly cautious. Wrong. The at-fault driver’s insurance company does not have your best interest at heart. Therefore, we have compiled a list of some common mistakes we have seen that should be avoided when you’ve been involved in a car accident.
- Avoid speaking to the at-fault driver’s insurance company without legal representation. Insurance adjusters may try to minimize your claim or obtain statements that could be used against you later. Having your lawyer present during any discussions with the insurance company can help protect your rights.
- Never accept the first settlement offer from an insurance company after an accident. Insurance companies often will make initial low-ball offers in an attempt to minimize their payout and settle claims quickly. They do not have your best interest at heart.
- Never give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company.
- Never take medical advice from the at-fault driver’s insurance company.
Remember to stay calm and cooperative throughout the process, but prioritize your safety and well-being above all else.

If you or a loved one have sustained injuries on someone else’s property, you may indeed have grounds to seek compensation from the property owner.

Compensation for injuries suffered on another person’s property may cover various expenses such as medical bills, lost income, and more, depending on the specifics of the accident. If you believe you have a premises liability case, it’s important to consult with a knowledgeable attorney to explore your legal options and seek the compensation you deserve.
Slip and fall accidents can occur on various premises, including businesses, private properties, and public spaces.

If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident due to the negligence of a property owner, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact us today for a free consultation.
