Why is it that everybody gets into a car accident at one point or another?
It is an unfortunate fact that we're all going to get into some kind of accident and be hurt at some particular point in our lives. There's just no way to avoid it. If it's a strategy of transportation like riding in a car, bus, motorcycle aeroplane or train, or something as ordinary as being wounded at work, accidents happen. The big issue is, what are we meant to do if we are wounded? The first thing you need to do is to call a personal injury, and one in your area.
So if you live in Southern California, you'd need to call a L. A. accident attorney. The second thing you will want to do is to visit a doctor. Glaringly if you have got a dreadful or dire injury, you'll want to go to straight to the infirmary as step one (calling a lawyer can wait). But if you don't have an emergency and you don't know what doctor to go to, your barrister can basically refer you to someone.
What about calling my insurance company?
This is a mistake that many folk make, particularly when they're in a auto accident. Folks say that their insurance company is on their side. But let's have a look at this. We all know the insurer is there to make money- not to offer you money. It's a similar thing as a bank. They only want to loan cash to folks who have cash because they require the loan repaid with interest. They're there to earn income.
Well so are the insurance corporations. They are not malicious or anything, it's just business. So they collect premiums on insurance policies from folk and that's their income. What are their costs? You were given it- when you get in an accident and you call them up and say "Hey, I need money!" And the first rule of business is to keep your revenue up and your costs down. So how do they keep their costs down? They attempt to low ball you. That is right- they try to pay you as little as possible , or even nothing! So calling them up and trusting that they will give you the best deal is just nave.
