SOME BASIC RULES TO FOLLOW AFTER AN ACCIDENT:
1. CALL THE POLICE and report the accident - Do not let any other driver try to convince you that the police are not needed or that they will just pay for your damage.
2. If you are injured GO TO THE HOSPITAL - This is an important step in showing the insurance companies that the injuries are serious, even if nothing is broken.
3. Take the name and number for any WITNESSES who saw how the accident happen.
4. Take PICTURES of the scene of the accident, the vehicles and/or any other items of evidence that you feel will be helpful - ex open containers in a vehicle if you feel the other driver was drunk.
5. Secure any physical EVIDENCE - if this means picking something up and taking it home with you so that it isn't destroyed or lost then take it.
6. CONTACT MY OFFICE AND SPEAK TO ME (347-702-4133 or michael@mkesq.com) - The experience of an attorney is invaluable at this time. The consultation is ABSOLUTELY FREE. Let me explain your rights and responsibilities. There are critical deadlines which must be met and tons of paperwork that needs to be completed and filed. Let me take the hassle out of it for you. Let us report the claim on your behalf.
7. Report the accident to your insurance company. If you call the insurance company before contact my office then just the BASICS - where, when and how the accident occurred. LET THEM KNOW YOU WILL BE GETTING AN ATTORNEY to represent you. It is during this initial call that the insurance company will try to take advantage of you and minimize the amount they will have to pay on your claim. The help of an experienced attorney will be the difference between getting all you deserve and getting nothing. Try to stay away from giving a recorded statement to the insurance company. Tell them you will be happy to give one with your attorney.
8. If you were injured, it is important that you begin receiving MEDICAL TREATMENT as soon as possible. The longer you wait the less serious the insurance company deems your injuries. You must meet the SERIOUS INJURY THRESHOLD under NY's Insurance Law in order to recover for your loss. Call me today so that I can explain what is needed to be proven. An attorney can also help in identifying the best types of doctors and specialists who have the requisite experience in treating these types of injuries as well as the necessary understanding and experience with litigating these kinds of cases.
9. KEEP COPIES OF RECEIPTS AND OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES - you must submit receipts to the insurance carrier within 45 days of when paid in order to be reimbursed. Failure to submit them in time will result in not being able to get reimbursed. Items such a prescription co-payments you need to make, car service to or from medical treatment, replacing eyeglasses that were broken in an accident, etc.
10. CONTACT MY OFFICE IMMEDIATELY FOR AN ABSOLUTELY FREE CONSULTATION (347-702-4133 or michael@mkesq.com) - The time right after an accident can be frustrating, time consuming and tiring. I will help you file your No-Fault application (30 days from date of accident) so that your medical bills are covered, file a lost wage claim for any time missed from work, help get your car fixed and/or get you into a car rental, etc.
