What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Group 9 Group 9

By following these 6 steps any legal issues will be much easier to deal with:

  1. Call the police immediately, make sure a report is made and ask for a copy – A police report helps provide objective evidence about how a car accident happened and helps provide important information about the people involved
  2. If you are hurt, seek medical attention immediately and do exactly what your doctor or health care provider tells you – Even if you have to go to a free medical clinic, taking care of your injuries and health problems is the most important thing to do after a car accident because you need to understand your injuries and get help for them
  3. Save all documents, including the police report, medical records, and repair estimates – Your lawyer will need to collect these documents and if you already have them, your case will move along much quicker
  4. If possible, take photographs of your car before it is totaled – Seeing the damage to a car has a big impact on people, including insurance adjusters and juries. Being able to show them how damaged your car was will greatly help your case.
  5. Do not sign or agree to anything from an insurance company before you know your rights and speak to an attorney – Sometimes insurance companies will ask you to sign documents that will waive your right to other remedies or invite legal trouble down the road
  6. Call our auto accident attorneys as soon as possible – before valuable evidence disappears
How much compensation will I get from a car accident?
Group 9 Group 9

Each case is unique, but our Kansas City car accident attorneys dig deeper because we care, and fight harder because it matters. We will uncover the maximum compensation for car accident victims. This includes thoroughly exploring compensation for:

  • Medical expenses – reimbursement for past and future medical bills
  • Lost wages – compensation for income lost during recovery
  • Property damage – reimbursement for vehicle and property damage
  • Pain and suffering – damages for physical and emotional distress
  • Emotional distress – additional compensation for psychological impact
  • Loss of consortium – compensation for the impact on spousal relationships
  • Wrongful death damages – in fatal accidents, compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and emotional distress
  • Punitive damages – awarded in cases of egregious conduct

How much you get will depend on these 5 things:

  1. How great are your losses?
  2. How egregious is the liability?
  3. Can the wrong-doer pay?
  4. Where will you have to file suit?
  5. Are you likeable?
