Injured In A Car Wreck – Do I Have A Case?
I WAS IN A CAR WRECK: WHAT DO I DO FIRST?
Call Goodin Abernathy and We’ll Tell You All About It!
The Goodin Abernathy LLP law firm has been defending drivers and fighting for injured people like you for more than 30 years. Over time, we’ve noticed our clients usually have these initial questions:
- Who is going to pay for the damage to my vehicle?
- What do I do about the medical bills I’m going to have?
- Am I allowed to visit a doctor or does someone need to send me to one?
Let’s start by identifying who is involved. If you did not collect the other driver’s identification, then Goodin Abernathy LLP will collect the police report for you. The report will identify other drivers, passengers and witnesses involved in the wreck. It should also list the insurance companies involved.
PROPERTY DAMAGES FROM MY CAR WRECK
So what about your car’s damages? First be careful: The tow yard charges a daily fee so you want to get it out of there as soon as you can! Then you need a repair estimate. Whether the other driver’s insurance company is going to pay – or you need to use your own insurance – you want your own repair estimate to know what’s needed. We can also help you find the vehicle’s fair market value in case it’s a total loss.
MEDICAL BILLS RESULTING FROM CAR ACCIDENT
Medical bills can be confusing. So call us and we’ll manage the bills with you, helping you figure out how and when to pay them. We will notify the bill collectors that we represent you and investigate how to prompt the at-fault driver to pay your bills. We’ll also review whether you should use your own auto or health insurance to cover the bills.
WHERE CAN I GO FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT
Go where you need to go. Do not wait or worry about getting permission from an insurance company or the other driver to get medical attention. If you are in serious pain or have alarming health symptoms, then go to the emergency room! If your condition needs attention, then schedule a visit with your family doctor right away. We do not practice medicine. But we do help you think through your options for seeking needed treatment. Goodin Abernathy LLP is experienced handling injuries that range from strains and sprains – to broken necks – to amputations – and sadly, even deaths.
HOW DO I GET LEGAL HELP AND HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?
This is simple: Call or e-mail us right now. We’ll discuss your case over the phone without pressuring you to sign a contract. We can schedule a free consultation for you to visit and discuss your case. If you are physically unable to get out of the house, we will visit you. You’ll meet with an actual attorney that explains the legal process and describes what Goodin Abernathy LLP can do for you!
