What You Need to Tell Your Personal Injury Attorney after a Car Accident

You have been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, and you are in a very difficult position. You have medical bills, time lost on the job, and the stress and anxiety that comes from being injured in a violent accident to take into consideration. It is a lot, and while hiring a personal injury attorney may seem like too much (given everything else you have to deal with), it is actually the best way to help ensure that you obtain the compensation to which you are entitled and that you need to reach your fullest recovery. There are certain things that you should automatically tell your experienced personal injury attorney, and knowing what they are can help your case go more smoothly.

Tell Your Attorney Exactly What Happened in Your Own Words

Car accidents can be upsetting, startling, and shocking all at the same time. In fact, you might not know what you are feeling from moment to moment. It is important, however, to get a handle on exactly how the accident happened from your perspective and in your words. Writing down your fullest recollections as soon after the accident as you can is a great way to keep your memories fresh. Share your complete recollections with your attorney.

If You Think You Might Share in the Fault, Let Your Attorney Know

Many of us tend to blame ourselves after an accident – even when this is not the case. If you believe you might be partially at fault for the accident that left you injured, let your attorney know right away. If it is true that you share fault, it does not necessarily negate your case. Determining fault, however, can be a complicated process, and you might simply be projecting your stress onto the situation. An experienced personal injury attorney knows how to get to the bottom of the matter.

Tell Your Attorney if You Do Not Have Insurance

In Texas, you must have car insurance in order to drive legally, but life has a way of throwing twists and turns our way. If you were injured as a result of another driver’s negligence but are afraid to seek compensation due to your own lack of insurance, discuss the matter with a dedicated personal injury attorney. Your lack of insurance does not preclude you from obtaining compensation through the at-fault party’s insurance coverage.

Points to Remember

If you have been injured as a result of another driver’s negligence, keep all of the following in mind:

  • Your personal injury attorney is on your side.

  • The more truthful information about the accident you share, the better prepared your personal injury attorney will be.

  • Obtaining the compensation to which you are entitled is worth the effort.
