4 TIPS FOR
HANDLING THE
AFTERMATH OF A
CAR ACCIDENT
https://www.habbaspilaw.com/
People who know you were in an accident may want you to
tell them the specifics, such as what caused the accident
and who was involved, but discussing the case, particularly
on social media, may do you more harm than good. Even if
you offer them casually, written statements can be
extremely damaging. Staying off social media and
requesting that friends and family refrain from
interrogating you about the accident can help to protect
your rights and support a court case.
1. Remain
Silent About
Details
A car accident typically generates a large amount of
paperwork, ranging from insurance documents to medical
reports. Keeping careful track of all of these details can
help your car accident lawyer in San Francisco, CA, place a
more accurate value on your case and include all costs
associated with the accident. Make copies for your
attorney and keep the originals together so you can access
any information you might need as you prepare for
litigation.
2. Track
Documents
Carefully
When there is a question of fault in a car accident,
forwarding all queries and requests for contact from the
defendant's insurance company to your attorney can help
protect your case. This includes settlement offers that
appear to be reasonable on the surface. Allowing your
attorney to represent you in these matters can help you
avoid mistakes that could harm your case.
3. Allow Your
Attorney To
Speak for You
Once you've found a car accident lawyer in San Francisco,
CA who you believe is a good fit for your needs, it's critical
to maintain open lines of communication and not assume
the case will proceed without your input. Maintain contact
with your attorney and do not be afraid to ask questions
about aspects of the case that appear to be unclear. Take
notes during meetings and make a list of case-specific
topics to cover before the court date.
4. Keep
Communicati
on Open
