There are a number of important steps you should take after an accident. Doing so may increase your chances of getting the damages that you’re owed. Follow the simple steps provided here by the Colorado car accident lawyers at McDivitt Law Firm:
Collect the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the other parties involved, anyone you spoke to at the scene, or any witnesses of the accident. Have these contacts organized so you can share them with your Denver car accident lawyer.
If you didn’t collect the contact information of anyone at the scene, you can find this information in the police report. You can pick up a copy of the police report at your local police station.
Even if you don’t think you’re hurt, sometimes injuries take time to present themselves. We recommend that all of our clients visit a doctor after their accidents, regardless of the severity. Be sure to take notes about how you feel after the accident, what the doctor says, and how you recover.
If your insurance company or the insurance company of the other party contacts you, don’t sign anything without talking to our Colorado car accident attorneys first. Signing paperwork from an insurance company may mean your signing away your rights to compensation.
We serve clients across Colorado, and we’re available to take your call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Call us toll free at (866) 241-6143 or fill out a free initial consultation form and get an experienced attorney on your side now.
