You must report the accident to the police and seek medical attention for injuries. However, protecting yourself after a San Jose car accident does not end there.
To prevent you from missing out on the full compensation you deserve:
Contact Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers, PA, immediately after the accident. Our team of experienced lawyers can help you learn about your right to compensation and how you can fight for it in the aftermath of an accident.
Follow the instructions issued by your medical care provider, even if they feel inconvenient. Do not engage in activities your care provider recommends that you avoid to reduce the risk of further injury or skip needed medical appointments. Instead, focus on maximizing your recovery so the insurance company cannot claim that you interfered with your recovery process.
Keep track of all of your medical costs. Note copays and deductibles. Keep receipts and bills. Your medical costs can grow exponentially after a car accident, and you may need to show evidence of those bills to seek compensation for your injuries later.
Let your lawyer take care of speaking with the insurance company for you. Conversations with the insurance company can quickly grow frustrating and may result in you falling into a trap set by an insurance agent. A lawyer can help you avoid those challenges.
