What Should I Do After an Accident?

Knowing what steps to take after suffering a serious injury will not only help you manage your immediate needs but can also help set you up for a stronger case if you choose to file a lawsuit. In some cases, some or none of these steps may apply, but in cases where they do, they can potentially prevent further injury and help you collect information vital to your case. If you were seriously injured, here are some steps you can follow:

• Check yourself for injuries: In the immediate aftermath of an accident, the most important thing you can do is check yourself for obvious injuries.
• Check on your passengers or other people at the scene of the accident: Once you check yourself for obvious injuries, check in on the wellbeing of the people in your immediate area to see if anyone needs assistance.
• Move to a safe location if possible: This is mostly relevant in car crashes, but if you were injured in a high-traffic or otherwise precarious area, if possible, move to a safer location like the side of the road or away from immediate danger.
• Call 911 and wait for assistance: In most cases, it’s the best course of action to call 911 to get emergency medical assistance. Not only are some injuries difficult or impossible to self-diagnose, being checked out by a medical professional as soon as possible will help you document exactly what injuries were caused by your accident.
• Exchange contact information with other people at the scene or the property manager: Even if you only have limited contact with passersby or other people involved in the accident, the most important information you can exchange is your contact information. This will allow y our attorney to contact them in the future and help get a better picture of the events that led up to and caused the accident.
• Notify your insurer or employer of your accident and injuries: Depending on if you were injured in a car crash, workplace injury, or other situation, inform the relevant parties of the incident as soon as possible. However, it’s important to avoid signing any settlement paperwork from your insurer or legal representative before you get a chance to go over all of the relevant documents with your own legal representation.

Even if you aren’t immediately considering filing a lawsuit, it may be in your best interest to speak with a Levittown personal injury lawyer to explore potential legal avenues. While it may not be immediately apparent, your injuries may have been the direct result of someone’s reckless, negligent, or wrongful actions.

Medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses pile up quickly, and you deserve to seek the compensation you deserve after an accident. At Laffey Bucci D’Andrea Reich & Ryan, we offer free initial consultations so you can better understand your options and take a course of action that makes sense for you.

What Types of Compensation Can a Levittown Personal Injury Lawyer Help Me Recover?

If you were seriously injured in an accident, you have the legal right to seek compensation from the parties deemed at fault. Even if it is determined that you were partially at fault for the incident, Pennsylvania’s comparative negligence laws state that as long as the other party or parties are at least 51% responsible for the accident, then you can still recover damages reduced by the percentage you are found at fault. Some of the damages you may be able to seek in a personal injury case in Levittown include:

• Medical expenses (including doctor’s visits, medications, medical equipment, etc.)
• Lost wages
• Rehabilitation or therapy
• Property damage
• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Loss of quality of life
• Loss of consortium
