What Happens After a Salt Lake City Car Accident?

What you should do after a Salt Lake City car accident depends on the extent of your injuries. If you feel that you cannot move without causing additional injuries, do not move. If you can reach your phone, contact first responders.

If you can move without causing additional injuries:

  • Call first responders.
  • Check on others involved in the accident if it is safe to do so.
  • Take photos of the accident scene. Be sure to include photos from all angles and photos of the damage to the road, real property, fences, mailboxes, utility poles, and other damage.
  • Obtain contact, license, registration, and insurance information from others involved in the accident.
  • Obtain contact information from witnesses, including those who were passengers in other vehicles involved in the accident.
  • Allow emergency medical technicians to check you over, even if you feel your injuries are minor.
  • Give your statement to the police officer. Do not discuss fault during this (or any) conversation at the time of the accident. Review the police report for inaccuracies before you sign it. Ask the officer how to obtain a copy of the report.
  • Seek medical attention immediately, even if you believe your injuries are minor. Some accident injuries take hours or even a couple of days to manifest.
  • Contact a Salt Lake City car accident attorney for a free case evaluation as soon as possible.

FAQ

Answers for your questions

Is it worth getting a Salt Lake City car accident lawyer?

Yes. Insurance companies are in business to make money. Every claim they pay out affects their bottom lines. Thus, an insurance representative will do anything possible to deny a claim or offer the injured person a pittance that might not even cover medical expenses.
When a car accident attorney gets involved in the case, the insurance company knows that it has a good chance of seeing litigation if it doesn’t offer a fair and reasonable settlement. When someone attempts to settle themselves, insurance companies feel as though they can get away with paying less and always offer less.

What questions should you ask a Salt Lake City car accident lawyer?

During your initial case evaluation, you should evaluate the attorney just as they are evaluating your case. Some of the questions you might ask include:
What is your experience with cases like mine?
How do you communicate with clients (text, email, etc.)?
How soon can you start working on my case?
How do I pay my medical expenses related to the accident while I am waiting for a settlement or trial award?
How can I pay my bills while I am out of work due to injuries?
How do you charge for your services?
How much are legal fees, and do I pay them upfront?
Who will be working on my case (sometimes the attorney you speak with is not the attorney who works on your case)?

Should I call a lawyer after a car accident in Salt Lake City?

You should call an attorney immediately after a Salt Lake City car accident. If you wait, you could forget pertinent facts that could make the difference in winning or losing your case or affect the compensation you deserve. Additionally, evidence could disappear before the attorney can investigate the case if you wait too long.
