Car Wrecks

Justice and Compensation for Car Accident Victims

People who have suffered serious injuries in a car wreck or truck accident face many obstacles on the way to recovery. In addition to the pain and discomfort they feel, accident victims often have feelings of anxiety, frustration, and anger. They worry about the future, they are deeply frustrated with insurance companies and medical providers, and they can feel great anger at the other driver who caused the accident.

At The Ryder Law Firm, we play an important role in helping victims of car accidents, truck wrecks, and drunk driver accidents recover from the disaster which has happened to them. However, it is important to take the following steps after an accident:

• Try to stay calm, or try to regain your composure.
• Check for visible injuries. If necessary, call an ambulance.
• If at all possible, move cars to a safe place, rather than risk being in moving traffic.
• Turn on your hazard lights. If necessary, use cones, warning triangles or flares to inform passersby of your presence.
• Call the police, even if the accident is minor.
• Make immediate notes about the accident including the specific damages to all vehicles involved. If the name on the auto registration and/or insurance policy is different from the name of the driver, establish the relationship and jot it down. Get witness information, if possible, as well.
• Be polite, but don't tell the other drivers or the police that the accident was your fault, even if you think it was. Likewise, do not accuse the other drivers of being at fault at this time. Everyone is usually shaken up immediately after an accident, and it is wise to state only the facts. Limit your discussion of the accident to the police. Even if the facts are embarrassing or detrimental to you, be truthful.
• If you have a camera handy, photograph the accident scene.
• Most importantly, do not leave the accident scene before the police arrive.
