What to do after a car accident

If you have been in a car accident, it is important you take certain steps to protect yourself and your legal claim. 

  1. Get medical attention: After a crash, it is important that you seek medical attention. Even if you do not feel hurt, some injuries may not appear until later. 
  2. Call 9-1-1: Report the accident to law enforcement so that a record is created of the incident.
  3. Document the accident: Take steps to collect information that may help a case. Be sure to take photos of involved vehicles, swap information with any other involved drivers, and document the scene where the accident occurred.
  4. Avoid speaking to insurance companies: After a wreck, insurance adjusters may contact you for a statement. Politely decline until you have spoken with an attorney. Any information you provide to an insurance company may reduce the compensation you are eligible to receive from a potential settlement. 
  5. Contact Cherry & Irwin: Our team of experienced car accident litigators can review your case and fight for maximum compensation.

The sooner you reach out to one of our attorneys, the stronger your case can be. Cherry & Irwin is here to guide you through every step of the recovery process.

When should I contact a personal injury attorney?

The sooner you connect with our team, the better. Cherry & Irwin can help protect your rights, handle communication with insurers, and preserve crucial evidence from the start. 

Is there a time limit for filing my case?

What types of compensation can I recover?

Depending on your case, you may recover damages for: wrongful death damages (for fatal crashes), medical bills and future treatment, lost wages and loss of earning ability, pain and suffering, property damage, etc.

What if the other driver does not have insurance?
