If you aren’t sure of what to do next and the steps to take to build a case after you’ve been injured in a car accident, talking to a car accident attorney in Miami is the crucial 2nd step! Read on to learn the 4 other things you must do after your wreck.

Why do you need a car wreck lawyer?

What to do after an accident?

After the accident, you might be confused about what to do and what not to do. Here are the top five things to do after a car accident in Miami.

  1. Seek Medical Aid:

The first thing to do, if you are injured, is to get medical assistance. Be sure to go to an area hospital like Jackson Memorial Hospital or the one that is nearest to the crash scene if you feel any type of pain whatsoever. Even a little bit of back discomfort could be the sign of a serious soft tissue injury. If you cannot get to the hospital, then go to a medical clinic. If you cannot go the same day, be sure to go within a day or so after your accident.

You do NOT need to call your insurance company right away. Seek medical treatment first and then see the experienced Miami Car Wreck Lawyers Erik Alvarez and Ruben Chavez who are ready to personally assist you and answer any and all of your questions! We are here to help you!

  1. Discussion:

After getting in touch with a knowledgeable lawyer, you need to explain everything about the case in detail. A lawyer can help you only when he/she knows all relevant information.

  1. Documentation:

For providing compensation to their clients, lawyers start with the documentation process. Gathering information about medical bills, insurance claims, etc., helps the lawyer get an overview of the case. Having a copy of the police report is essential as well. Having photos of the crash scene and photos of your injuries are also crucial. The clients have to assist the lawyer appropriately by providing relevant documents and photos.

  1. Investigation:

The lawyer would investigate every minor detail. Camera footage, police reports, etc., are gathered to get factual information. Your attorney might even try to negotiate with the defense, but if it fails, the case is presented in court. You need to express your option and create an understanding with your attorney. ( This is why it is helpful to work with an injury lawyer who has experience in litigating cases in court such as Ruben Chavez and Erik Alvarez ).

  1. Compensation:

To win the case, you need to be on the same page as your lawyer. The lawyer would do everything to get you the compensation you deserve. Negotiating with the insurance company, the lawyer would get your money back. The driver at fault would be held accountable. By getting relevant help, it would be simple to get compensation.
