Critical Steps Following a Car Accident

After a collision, it’s essential to protect your rights. Here are some recommended steps that you can take today: 

      • Seek Immediate Medical Attention:
        Even if injuries aren’t immediately visible, it’s essential to get checked out. Injuries may worsen over time, so prompt treatment and documentation are vital to documenting your case and preserving your well-being. 
      • Document Everything:
        If possible, take photos of all involved vehicles, damage, skid marks, and any other relevant details. Don’t forget to take pictures of any visible injuries you may have. 
      • Gather Information:
        Collect contact and insurance details from other drivers and, if available, statements from any witnesses. Save all cards that the police may give you. 
      • Limit Communication with Insurers:
        Avoid discussing your claim with the insurance company. Contact Madison Burga or another lawyer before answering questions.  The insurance adjusters may try to minimize your claim or even put you at fault. 
      • Contact Madison Burga:
        Retaining an attorney right away can make a significant difference. We handle communication with insurance companies and ensure all evidence is preserved.

Causes of Car Accidents

Auto accidents are often preventable and may result from a variety of factors, including:

  • Distracted Driving:
    Texting, calls, or any attention-diverting activity can cause drivers to lose focus on the road.
  • Impaired Driving:
    Alcohol or drug use impairs judgment and reaction times, leading to serious accidents.
  • Reckless or Aggressive Driving:
    Speeding, tailgating, and unsafe lane changes significantly raise the risk of collisions.
  • Mechanical Failures and Poor Maintenance:
    Faulty brakes, tires, and other issues can contribute to accidents if not properly maintained.

Determining Liability in Auto Accidents

Establishing who is liable after an accident can be complex, as fault may involve multiple parties or shared fault. Madison Burga investigates each detail to ensure accountability and pursue maximum compensation from all responsible parties, which may include:

  • At-Fault Driver:
    Commonly liable if their negligent behavior caused the accident.
  • Vehicle Owner:
    If the driver was using someone else’s vehicle, the vehicle owner may share liability.
  • Vehicle Manufacturer:
    Defects in the vehicle may make the manufacturer liable.
  • Government Entities:
    If a roadway hazard or poor maintenance contributed to the accident, the local government might be at fault.
