How Serious Are Car Accidents?
Car accidents can cause both physical injuries and property damage. Sometimes, car accidents only result in minor damages or injuries. Other times, the results are disastrous. For example, your car might undergo extensive repairs after an accident. This is costly and can make it more difficult for you to carry out daily activities like work and running errands.
Car accidents can also result in serious injuries. For example, you may experience a head injury, a spinal cord injury, or the loss of a limb. Often the road to recovery can be both costly and extensive.
You may also have a lot of medical bills after a car accident. For example, you may have bills related to the emergency medical treatment you received. Maybe you had to have surgery to correct injuries, or perhaps you had to have extensive rehab to help you recover and relearn body function. These medical bills can pile up quickly and make you feel overwhelmed.

What Should I Do After a Car Accident?
Your safety and the safety of other people in an accident are the priority. If you can, get a safe distance from the crash so that it is no longer a threat to you. For example, if there is a fire related to the accident, get to where the fire cannot hurt you. Make sure to get the medical treatment you need.
Call emergency medical services to come help as needed. You should also report the accident to the appropriate authorities. Sometimes, this may involve contacting local law enforcement after your accident.
Evidence collection, including police reports, can be helpful in future car accident claims. If you can, document the accident on your own. For example, you can take pictures of the crash site, where it happened, and the damages sustained. It can also help to keep track of things like the medical treatment you received and the related bills.
Compensation in a Car Accident Claim
The exact amount you can get in compensation will depend on what happened in your car accident. If your car accident resulted in severe injury and damage to your vehicle, you may be able to recover a substantial amount in compensation.
If the damages were minimal, you might only be able to recover a little in compensation. In a car accident claim, you may be able to recover compensation in the following areas:
- Costs to repair damages to your vehicle or replace personal property
- Medical bills related to the treatment of your injuries from the accident
- Wages you lost while you were unable to work while you were recovering from the accident
- The pain and suffering you experienced because of the accident
Should I Accept the First Offer That Comes My Way?
After a car accident, insurance companies may approach you with an initial offer. However, sometimes these offers are much lower than what your case is worth. While they can be tempting to take, an attorney can advise you if it is best to accept the offer or if it would be better to negotiate a higher amount.
Consulting with an attorney can help you understand how much your case is worth and how much you may be able to receive in compensation. However, before your case is finished, lawyers can only offer you their best legal guesses about the compensation amount in your case.
