What To Do After an Accident
The steps you decide to take immediately after an accident can greatly impact your potential claim. Listed below are tips you can follow after an accident:
- Stay at the scene – It’s imperative to remain at the scene of the accident. If you don’t, you could face criminal penalties. Fleeing an accident is considered a hit and run.
- Check to see if anyone is injured – The first thing you should do is check if you or anyone else involved in the car wreck has suffered any injuries.
- Contact emergency responders – If someone is injured, call for help immediately. If not, it’s important to contact the police so you can have a police report filed.
- Ask for information – It’s important to exchange information with the other driver such as phone number, license plate number, insurance information, and driver’s license number.
- Take photos of the collision scene – Photos of the wreck can be used as evidence in a claim. Make sure to take pictures from multiple angles and of the other vehicles involved.
- Contact your insurance company – Even if you’re not at fault, you need to inform your insurance company you have been involved in an accident.
- Talk with witnesses – If anyone witnessed the wreck, ask what he or she saw. Also, ask for their contact information.
- Contact our attorneys at Heuser & Heuser – If you or a loved one suffered any type of injuries due to another driver’s negligence, you may be eligible to receive compensation.
Why Should I Hire A Lawyer?
Insurance companies don’t look out for your best interest and will try to offer a low-ball settlement, which may not cover all of your expenses.
We are familiar with the tactics insurance companies frequently use to get people to settle for the lowest offer. Our attorneys will not settle for a low offer when you deserve to receive more for your injuries. When you hire one of our attorneys, we will review all the details of your case and determine a reasonable amount of compensation you should receive for your injuries and any damages you experienced.
While every case is unique, our team will see what legal options are available for your case. We will review factors such as medical bills, pain and suffering, and damages to help determine an ideal amount of compensation you rightfully deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know What My Case Is Worth?
There are a variety of things we look at when evaluating your case and determining its value. We look at how the accident occurred. We look at what sort of injuries you sustained. Do you have a permanent injury that will last the rest of your life? Are you going to have future medical bills? We look at lost wages. Did you lose your job? If you have permanent work restrictions as a result of the accident, you may not be able to find a job very easily in the future. These are some of the factors that we look at in evaluating a claim. Every case is unique and different. That’s why at our law firm, every case gets personal attention from the lawyer when it comes time to evaluate.
Why is it Important to Hire a Lawyer?
Insurance companies are in business for a reason: to make money. Anytime they are paying money on a claim, it means less money to their bottom line. They have literally hundreds of adjusters and hundreds of lawyers who are on their side trying to figure out how to prevent money from leaving their checkbooks. Quite frankly, you do need a lawyer to help you through this because your lawyer will make sure you’re properly compensated.
Do Cases Settle Without Going to Court?
Cases settle before going to trial 80 to 90 percent of the time. However, that doesn’t mean there’s not a lot of work involved in getting a case settled outside of court. Sometimes you have to file a lawsuit and do a lot of what I call “legal maneuvering” to get a case settled. That means we take depositions from witnesses to the accident, from police officers, and from your doctors. But, yes, most cases will settle prior to trial.
Do You Get Good Results for Your Clients?
We do get good results for our clients. We have settled hundreds, if not thousands, of cases where we’ve had large settlements. We’ve had substantial verdicts. We go to the mat for our clients if necessary. We’ll appeal cases. We’ll do whatever it takes to make sure our client is taken care of.
