What to Do After a Car Accident

Of course, the first thing is to ensure personal safety by immediately calling 911 for emergency assistance.

Here are the other important steps you should take to preserve the integrity of your potential case:

  1. Do not admit your own fault or blame anyone else.
  2. Exchange contact and insurance information with everyone at the scene.
  3. Document details of the crash while they’re still fresh in your mind. Write them down on a piece of paper or record them on your smartphone’s voice recording app.
  4. Take pictures of evidence at the scene.
  5. Exercise caution when asked for a statement by the insurance company - either yours or that of the other parties involved. (See below for why this is so important.)
  6. If you are injured, seek medical treatment right away. Your medical provider will get you the treatment you need. You’ll also have a documented record of your injuries if you decide to file a personal injury claim.
  7. Contact Edgar Snyder & Associates and our vehicle accident team for a free consultation.

Insurance Companies: Proceed With Caution

Fact is, insurance companies want to maximize profits. So, they may try to deny your claim or offer a low-ball settlement to save money. To help your case, it’s critical that you:

1. Don’t say yes to or sign anything from any insurance company without carefully reading and considering the consequences.

2. Level the playing field by calling Edgar Snyder & Associates.

Insurance companies often use armies of lawyers to bully you into what they want. Our experienced vehicle accident lawyers know how to stand up to them and place your needs first.

  1. The accident report (if you have it.)
  2. Any notes or information you used to document the accident.

  4. Your medical or disability insurance policy.
  5. All correspondence you’ve received from any insurance company.
  6. Medical bills

Types of Accidents and Common Injuries

Truck Accidents

Some of the most devastating crashes involve trucks – tractor trailers, 18-wheelers, vans, and other commercial vehicles. Hiring an experienced car accident lawyer is especially important because most trucking companies "lawyer up," quickly dispatching teams of corporate attorneys to defend them.

Passengers

Many people injured as passengers don't want to file a legal claim because they incorrectly believe they would negatively impact their friend or loved one who was behind the wheel. In reality, you’re making a claim against their insurance company and it’s not fair for you to shoulder the burden of those expenses on your own.

Multi-Vehicle Crashes

Collisions happen in a multitude of ways and the car accident lawyers at Edgar Snyder & Associates handle all types of crashes that cause serious injuries. Different scenarios include: head-on collisions, lane crossovers, rear-end accidents, sideswipes, rollovers, and T-bone accidents, to name a few.

Distracted Driving

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or texting while driving, causes crashes that result in serious and sometimes permanent injuries. Eating in the car, putting on makeup, and fiddling with the radio – anything that takes your eyes off the road falls under distracted driving.

Dangerous Road

Our Johnstown car accident lawyers handle single- and multi-vehicle crashes involving poorly-designed roads and intersections as well as unsafe construction zones. Common causes of crashes include water pooling on roadways that results in hydroplaning crashes, or unexpected ice patches that cause skidding in freezing temperatures.

Other Accident Types

Whether you are injured as a driver, pedestrian, bicyclist or motorcyclist, our experienced Johnstown injury attorneys can make sure you get the compensation you deserve. We also help victims of work-related injuries who were either driving or were a passenger while on the job.

Types of Injuries

Our car accident lawyers know that, at first, you may not realize the full extent of your injuries and required treatment. We need to determine the future medical care you will need to ensure you receive adequate compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Head & Brain Injuries

Head injuries – also called traumatic brain injuries – rank among the most common and serious injuries suffered by car accident victims. The severity of head injuries ranges from concussions to comas and can cause long-lasting physical and cognitive (thinking) issues.

Back, Neck & Spinal Cord Injuries

Serious car accidents often cause whiplash or other neck and back injuries, some of which might not be immediately apparent. Few things are more frightening than a spinal cord injury, which can lead to partial or total paralysis.

Shoulder Injuries

Pain in your shoulder may ultimately require costly surgery and long-term physical therapy. Oftentimes, it's not initially apparent that you will need future surgery that can lead to overwhelming medical bills.

Knee Injuries

A knee injury can affect your entire life, requiring you to use crutches, a cane, walker, or wheelchair to get around. Knee injuries – as well as ankle or other leg injuries – also put you at risk for arthritis in the future.

Wrongful Death

No amount of money will ever make up for the loss of a family member, but it's our job to ensure you get the fair compensation and future stability your family deserves. The complexity of wrongful death cases requires the knowledge of car accident lawyers who know the laws.

Other Injuries

Car accidents can cause a multitude of severe and sometimes permanent injuries. Whether you're dealing with broken bones or fractures, or more serious issues such as burns, amputations, or eye injuries, our Johnstown car accident attorneys can help.

What You Can Expect From Our First Meeting

The biggest thing you can expect is to have a friendly and compassionate conversation. You’re not a legal expert and we don’t expect you to be. So, any question you have is a good one. During our discussion, we’ll seek to understand your case as clearly as we can. That means asking questions. If you don’t have all the answers, that’s OK. This is a traumatic time in your life. But the more you can tell us, the better we can know the position you’re in.

Benefit of Having Legal Protection for You & Your Family

In fact, one survey showed that injury victims with expert legal counsel received 3x more compensation. Those funds are critical for paying off devastating medical bills, securing future financial needs from day-to-day expenses to college tuition and securing the basic human right of correcting a terrible wrong.
