What To Do After A Car Accident
It is important to know what you should and should not do after a car accident, which can contribute to the building of your case:
- Minnesota is a no-fault state, but that does not mean that who is at fault is not an important detail if you have been injured in a car accident. Do not talk to the insurance company or the legal driver about the accident without talking to your attorney.
- The insurance company of the other driver may try to discredit the witnesses who could strengthen your case. It is important for your attorney to first speak to the witnesses to prepare them for the tactics the insurance company may use.
- Your own insurance policy gives you rights to see your own doctor. It is important that the selected doctor is one who is highly knowledgeable about the injury type.
- While insurance has coverage amounts, the minimum amounts in Minnesota were established in the 1970s and are not enough to cover the losses of today. This means the insurance will not be enough to cover the damages done to you. It is good to increase your coverage so that you can better protect yourself and your family in case future accidents occur.
- You can turn to your own uninsured or underinsured insurance coverage when in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver.
These are just some of the things that can help you if you are involved in an accident. It is always ideal to speak to your car accident attorney after an accident so you can receive the advice that you need.
