9 Steps To Take After a Collision

The days following a car accident can be confusing and overwhelming, but knowing how to proceed can help support your case in the long run. Here are several important things to keep in mind:

1. Call Emergency Services

The first step is to call 911 to get help. If anyone is injured, let the dispatcher know so that they can call emergency medical services to the scene.

2. Get Medical Treatment for Your Injuries

If you or any of your passengers have been injured, it is important to have yourself seen by a medical professional. Even if your injuries seem minor now, they could progress over time. This protects your health and safety which are the main priority, and it protects your claim.

3. File a Police Report

While the police are at the scene, be sure to file a police report. The report will document the details, which can help with insurance negotiations. Avoid admitting fault and stick to the facts.

4. Collect Witness Information

If there are witnesses, get their names and contact information. Their statements may help clarify what happened if there’s a dispute about the accident.

5. Exchange Insurance Information

Exchange insurance and contact details with the other driver(s) involved. Stay calm and avoid discussing fault or apologizing, as this could affect your claim later.

6. Take Photos of Both Vehicles & Any Injuries

Take pictures of both vehicles, any damage, and visible injuries. Photos from different angles provide valuable evidence if there’s a disagreement about the accident.

7. Report the Accident to Your Insurance Company

Report the collision to your insurance company, even if it seems like a minor accident. Delaying this could impact your ability to file a claim.

8. Keep Track of Any Documents Related to the Crash

As time goes on, organize all documents related to the accident, including medical bills, repair estimates, and police reports. Having everything on hand will support your claim if needed.

9. Consult a Local Car Accident Lawyer

Consider consulting a local car accident lawyer, especially if injuries or major damages are involved. An attorney can guide you through the legal and insurance processes.

Do You Have a Case?

If you get hurt in a car accident caused by someone else’s reckless behavior, you likely have a case. Here are some factors our team will look for when reviewing your case:

Over the years, we have seen people suffer from a wide range of injuries after a car accident. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Head injuries, such as TBI
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Back, neck, and spine injuries
  • Loss of limbs
  • Broken bones
  • Internal injuries
  • Loss of mobility
  • “Invisible” injuries, such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD

We have also covered car accidents caused by a diverse range of circumstances and factors. These include cases involving:

  • Distracted drivers
  • Drivers under the influence of alcohol and drugs
  • Drivers who were on a cell phone
  • Drivers who fell asleep behind the wheel
  • Poor road conditions

In Massachusetts, you have 3 years from the date of your accident to file your claim in most car accident cases.

However, there are a few exceptions, and the deadline may vary depending on the details of your case. If you fail to meet these critical legal deadlines, you could lose your right to any compensation. That is why you should contact a Boston car accident lawyer as soon as possible to help ensure you meet every deadline and have the best chance at a fair settlement.

Every driver owes other drivers on the roads what’s called a “duty of care.” If someone breaches that duty of care by acting carelessly and you’re injured as a result, that person may be held liable for their actions. However, proving negligence is not always straightforward.

Massachusetts follows a “comparative negligence” rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you are partially at fault for the accident. As long as you are 50% or less at fault, you may receive compensation, though your damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found to be more than 50% responsible, you cannot recover any damages.

Damages Recovered in Car Accident Settlements

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to recover various types of damages depending on the severity of your injuries and the impact the accident has had on your life. The goal of pursuing compensation is to restore you to the position you were in before the accident. Common types of damages recovered in car accident cases include:

  • Medical Expenses: This covers both current and future medical costs related to your injuries, including hospital stays, surgeries, medications, rehabilitation, and necessary medical equipment.
  • Lost Wages: If your injuries caused you to miss work, you may be compensated for lost income during the recovery period. In cases of long-term disability, you may also recover future lost earnings.
  • Pain and Suffering: In addition to financial losses, you can seek compensation for physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident. This can include anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
  • Property Damage: You are entitled to compensation for repairs or replacement of your vehicle and any other personal property damaged in the accident.
  • Loss of Consortium: In serious cases, if your injuries have affected your relationship with your spouse, such as loss of companionship, affection, or support, you may be eligible for additional compensation.
  • Punitive Damages: While not common, punitive damages may be awarded in cases where the at-fault party’s actions were especially reckless or egregious, particularly in cases of wrongful death.

Your lawyer will work diligently to assess the full scope of your damages and pursue the compensation you may deserve. Understanding your rights and the possible outcomes can give you peace of mind during this challenging time.

What To Expect: Massachusetts Car Accident Lawsuits

Navigating a car accident lawsuit in Massachusetts can seem overwhelming, but knowing what to expect can help ease your concerns. Here’s a brief overview of the steps involved in a typical car accident claim:

The first step is reaching out to an experienced car accident lawyer. Your attorney will review your case, explain your legal options, and begin gathering evidence to support your claim.

Your attorney will investigate the accident and collect medical records, police reports, photos, witness statements, and any other necessary documentation. This evidence is essential to proving negligence and establishing the extent of your damages.

In most cases, your attorney will attempt to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company. The goal is to secure fair compensation without the need for a trial. However, insurers often try to minimize payouts, so having strong legal representation is important.

If the insurance company denies your claim or offers an unfair settlement, your lawyer can help you appeal the decision and fight for a better outcome.

If a fair settlement cannot be reached, your lawyer may recommend filing a lawsuit and going to court. While many cases settle before reaching this stage, your attorney will be prepared to present your case before a judge or jury if needed.

Once a settlement is reached or a court ruling is in your favor, your attorney will help you collect the compensation you’re owed in a timely manner.
