If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident, it is likely that you are confused as to what your next course of action should be. This is very common in that when in a motor vehicle accident takes place, the parties thereto are initially in a state of shock. However, once that shock wears off, they begin to question what their next steps should be.

At the time of the accident, the parties to a motor vehicle accident are not in the state of mind to make any decisions or any statements. It is very common that the most important thing to the parties is their physical well-being and condition of their vehicles. Once the shock and the adrenaline has worn off, the parties are able to think clearly and that is the time to consult with and retain a Los Angeles accident attorney.

There are several reasons to retain an auto injury attorney. First is that the car accident personal injury lawyer is trained in handling the immediate next steps following a motor vehicle accident. Most often, these immediate next steps are filing a claim with the insurance carrier for the offending vehicle and filing a claim with your insurance carrier so that your medical expenses can be paid.

By and large, the parties to motor vehicle accidents are not in the frame of mind post-accident to deal with the numerous factors that are required of personal injury plaintiffs. Negotiating with insurance carriers, sending photographs, making witness statements and dealing with medical billing companies are not matters that injured parties should be concerned with. The reason for this is that an injured plaintiff has enough on their hands in terms of dealing with the recovery from the serious and possibly permanent personal injuries they sustained in the accident.

Recuperation from personal injuries can be very time-consuming depending upon their nature and extent. It is likely that an injured plaintiff will need to treat with their physician 3-4 times a week if not more. Chiropractic care, physical therapy and diagnostic testing are all routine courses of care that should be sought by personal entry plaintiffs immediately following their accident.

This leaves very little time for plaintiffs to take phone calls from insurance carriers and handle medical billing claims. Such matters are best left to a car accident personal injury lawyer since they are better prepared to handle such matters.

Therefore, the immediate two steps following a motor vehicle accident should be to consult with and retain a Los Angeles accident attorney, file a claim with the offending vehicle’s insurance carrier and file a claim with your own insurance carrier so that your medical benefits will be paid.

Beyond these main initial three steps, you should gather all of your relevant insurance doc*mentation such as the declaration page for the policy insurance that covered your vehicle on the date of the accident. If you have photographs of your vehicle or your injuries, they should be printed and provided to your attorney on the date of your initial consultation or within at least a few days thereafter. These doc*ments are vital to your auto injury attorney so that he or she may best advocate your case during the course of time they are negotiating with the insurance carrier for the defendant or their attorneys if your case needs to be litigated.

Your auto injury attorney will file your claim with the offending vehicle’s insurance carrier and attempt to settle your case before filing a lawsuit. However, if your case is ubable to be settled for a fair amount, your attorney will seek damages by filing a lawsuit in a Court of competent jurisdiction. This means that your case will be assigned a presiding judge and that the offending vehicle will retain counsel to defend the case.

In every motor vehicle accident case, there are two main aspects: liability and damages. Liability is where the question is asked “who is responsible?”. Depending upon the type of accident you had, liability maybe clear-cut (hit in the rear accident) or it may be disputed (left turn in front, broadside hit, T-bone accident). These are matters for your Los Angeles accident attorney to determine only after a full evaluation of your case.

As for damages, permanency is the key to the kingdom. If you have sustained permanent injuries, your case will be evaluated favorably and you will be paid for your pain and suffering. You are also entitled to compensation for lost wages and future medical treatment. Your attorney will put together a “specials” package that will make a demand upon the insurance carrier for the defendant based upon your theory of liability and the damages you sustained as a result of the accident.

It is for these reasons that you should immediately consult with and retain an experienced personal injury attorney if you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident. Your attorney will be able to recommend a skilled chiropractor and physical therapist so that you may begin to rehabilitate from your injuries. If you have a physician that you have been treating with your entire life, it is recommended that you schedule an appointment to be examined by that physician.

Take the immediate steps following your motor vehicle accident seriously since every decision you make will have far-reaching effects. If you have injuries at the time of the accident and are not feeling like yourself, do not decline medical treatment-have the ambulance take you to the emergency room so that you can be checked out. If you do not, the insurance carrier for the defendant will certainly hold this against you for as long as your case is pending. They will invariably say “if the plaintiff was that injured they would’ve gone to the emergency room”. This is a common rebuttal asserted by the defendant’s insurance carrier.

This is only one example of how crucial each decision you make is during the pendency of your case.

With that in mind, once you have settled down post-accident, contact an experienced person injury attorney and consult with them so you may take the first step toward rehabilitation, recuperation and receiving compensation for the damages you sustained in your accident.
