Common Causes of Car Accidents
Accidents caused by another person’s negligence are common in New York City. If you are involved in a collision resulting in injuries or death, you need an attorney to help you get the compensation you deserve.
Common causes of car accidents resulting in liability:
- Distracted driving
- Driving under the influence
- Defective auto parts
- Reckless or aggressive driving
- Following too closely
- Improper passing
- Backing up without looking
- Speeding
- Dangerous road design
The minutes and hours following a serious car accident can be critical. If you have any injuries, even if you think they are minor, you need to seek immediate medical treatment. Once you are able, you need to contact a New York City car accident lawyer to discuss your legal options.
What kind of evidence do I need to collect after a car accident?
After a car accident, you might be overwhelmed and unsure of what steps to take to protect yourself. The most important thing you can do is get help for your injuries. Your health and well-being should be the top priority, as well as that of any other injured parties.
In addition to seeking medical attention, you should also try to collect evidence at the scene. Take pictures and videos at the accident site. Document the condition of the road and the weather. Write down the names of all parties, including any witnesses to the crash. All of the information may prove critical to your case down the road.
Types of evidence that may help your case:
- Pictures of the roadway, including signs, traffic lights, or defects in the asphalt
- Photos of property and vehicle damage
- Evidence of your injuries
- The police report
- Contact information for witnesses and other involved parties
- Nearby security footage
- Medical records documenting your injuries
- Information related to vehicle repairs or other losses
It is not your job to prove liability at the scene. You should not admit fault or make statements that may make it seem like you are accepting responsibility for the accident. Before speaking with an insurance adjuster, you should contact an attorney. Any statements that you write or record can be used against you and may hurt your case.
During this time, it is also vital to consult with an attorney. A NYC car accident lawyer can help you understand what evidence will help your case and may be able to subpoena documents or audio and video that you might not otherwise be aware of.
What Should I Do if I Was Injured in a Car Accident?
If you are involved in a motor vehicle crash where someone was injured or killed, you must:
- Stay at the scene.
- Notify the police.
- Exchange information with other involved parties.
- Seek emergency medical treatment for your injuries.
- If able, take pictures and document anything that happened before, during, or immediately after the accident.
- Contact an experienced New York City car accident attorney.
Remember, it is not your job to determine fault after an accident. You should not make any statements to the other parties or to an insurance company without first speaking with an attorney. Never accept a settlement without first having it reviewed by an attorney. Insurance companies will often try to get you to settle for far less than your case is worth.
Why You Need a Lawyer After a Car Accident
After an accident, you may be unsure whether you need legal representation. It is always in your best interest to consult an attorney if you suffered harm due to a car crash or other motor vehicle accident. An attorney can ensure that the right parties are held liable and that you receive the maximum compensation available on your case.
Without the help of an attorney, you may end up:
- Settling for less than your case is worth;
- Without compensation for your pain and suffering;
- Fighting with the insurance company who is trying to downplay your injuries;
- Going back to work before you are ready;
- Having unpaid medical bills; and
- Facing financial hardship as a result of the accident.
A New York City car accident attorney will fight to ensure that you never settle for less than your case is worth. At Ajlouny Injury Law, we know the tactics that insurance companies use and will negotiate to get you the best settlement possible based on your injuries. If we cannot reach a fair and full settlement, we will take your case to trial to get you the results you deserve.
