If you’ve been in an accident, follow these steps:

1. Ensure Safety – Check yourself and others for injuries and move to a safe location if possible.
2. Call 911 – Report the accident and request medical assistance if needed.
3. Document the Scene – Take photos, exchange contact and insurance information, and gather witness details.
4. Seek Medical Attention – Even if you feel fine, some injuries may not show symptoms immediately.
5. Contact an Attorney – Before speaking with insurance companies, consult with an attorney to protect your rights.

Every case is unique, but most personal injury claims take several months to over a year to resolve. Factors that impact timing include the severity of injuries, medical treatment length, insurance negotiations, and whether a lawsuit is necessary. Our firm works to maximize your compensation while keeping the process as efficient as possible.

You should always seek medical care when you have signs or symptoms of injuries. Delays in treatment may be detrimental to your overall well-being. A medical evaluation not only protects your health but also ensures your injuries and concerns are well documented.

It is always best practice to speak with an attorney first to ensure you receive fair compensation.
