Injury

It is important that an innocent injured person visits a car accident lawyer as soon as possible after any accident that causes personal injury. Collisions involving motor vehicles account for more compensation claims than all other accidents put together. Most motor claims involve a whiplash injury although trauma can vary from minor injuries through to injuries of the utmost severity including spinal injury, brain damage and death. The figures for personal injury are staggering with an average of ten people killed on our roads every day and hundreds of thousands of other injuries which require hospital treatment or GP attendance every year. In all of these cases it is likely that at least one person can claim compensation and on occasion all parties involved can claim damages for injury.

It is necessary for a car accident lawyer to prove negligence in order to claim and that usually involves showing that one of the drivers acted without skill and care. In that case all of the other parties involved can make claims for compensation including those people travelling in the vehicle of the driver who was at fault. In certain circumstances both drivers can each be partially to blame and damages will be apportioned dependent on the extent of the blame attributed to each driver ensuring that each driver receives compensation on the basis of ‘contributory negligence’. In these cases any other person also injured including passengers can claim damages against both drivers.

Evidence preservation is an important factor in proving any personal injury case to the satisfaction of a court. There are a number of things that should be done immediately after a collision to assist your car accident lawyer and these include :-

• Record the other drivers name, address, phone number, insurance company, policy number, driver's license number and registration plate number.
• Record the details of any other vehicles involved including year, make, model, colour and damage sustained.
• Make a written note of the exact location of the collision and the details of how it happened.
• Take as many photographs of the vehicles if they are still in situ, the location and road markings and any skid marks. Take photographs of any visible injury and if appropriate make a photographic record of the healing process.
• Take down the names, addresses and telephone numbers of witnesses and record the make colour and registration number of any car they were driving.
• Keep a diary of the medication and treatment of any injuries including a list of all medical expenses incurred as a result of the accident.
• Keep all receipts and estimates for any damage caused as a result of the crash.
