Millions of automobile accidents occur in the United States each year, causing damage to property, and worse, injuring you or a loved one.  Many people, especially in minor accidents, file a report with the police and their insurance carrier and leave it at that.  A lot of times they pay any related expenses directly out of their own pocket.  At this point, a minor accident has become a major expense to your pocketbook.

If another driver is negligent, you can not only lose your life or the life of a love one, but you can also suffer physical injury and unnecessary financial and emotional stress.  To win a suit against another driver it is necessary to show that they were negligent, which means that they must have failed to act reasonably and in a manner which respects the safety of other drivers.

If you are involved in an accident, NOTIFY THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY!!  Also follow these guidelines.

• Write down the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and license numbers of persons involved in the accident and any witnesses who saw what happened.  Also write down the license plate number and state of each vehicle involved.
   
• DO NOT ADMIT FAULT.  Do not discuss the accident with anyone except the police, your insurance agent, or your attorney.
   
• Notify your attorney and your insurance agent at once.

After the accident, during the settlement period, document your time lost from work, any prescriptions as a result of the accident, any doctor's visited or any medical bills related to the accident.  The law permits you to seek recovery after an accident to "make you whole again."
