November 07, 2016 – –

Bruce Robinson & Associates offers skilled legal representation for personal injury cases. Steps to follow in the immediate aftermath of a car accident are presented in a blog article on the firm’s website.

Baltimore MD: Bruce Robinson and Associates is pleased to announce their blog article outlines the steps which are necessary to follow in the aftermath of an automobile accident. The Maryland accident lawyer accident team has extensive experience in representing clients and maximizing recoveries for people who have suffered injuries in a car accident. The failure to follow the free advice can result in problems or denial of reimbursement or coverage for the injuries sustained. A car accident is a serious matter, both financially and health-wise. A qualified legal team will help to protect the victims.

According to the accident lawyer, “Take the appropriate steps with the police to ensure that an accurate report is made of your car accident, properly assigning fault and identifying all witnesses at the accident scene. The next step should be contacting a legal professional as quickly as possible to take care of obtaining all necessary documentation and obtaining complete witness statements before memories fade and/or the insurance companies get involved. If you are unable to make the calls personally to enlist counsel, a trusted family member or friend should do so for you at once.”

The firm states that the first step following a car accident while still at the scene is to contact 911 and the police on scene. All witnesses should be identified at that very time before the disappear and cannot help. If it is a serious accident and the victim is taken to the hospital from the scene, hopefully, a family member or friend can assist with this important matter, as the police can make mistakes. The next call should be made to counsel, even before the insurance company, the firm says, because insurance can twist facts and or witnesses. It is better if counsel speaks to the insurance company. It is important to do both of these steps before leaving the scene of an accident or as quickly as possible thereafter. This will ensure that the rules are being followed and prevent many of the problems which can arise when witnesses disappear and insurance companies get involved.

Irrespective of who was at fault for the accident, speaking with an attorney is a very important step after tending to urgent medical needs. It is important as soon as possible because once the insurance companies get involved, they attempt to obtain recorded statements and twist facts as fast as possible. The firm says that a lawyer will be able to determine what the next steps should be after initial contact as well as assist in any further medical attention one may need. Finally, the attorney will know what should be paid from the various benefits available to the victim such as Pip, Med pay, etc., and how much the claim from the insurance carrier should be.

The time to find an accident lawyer in Baltimore is hopefully before one is needed or as quickly as possible after an accident. Information about selecting the right lawyer can be found through online reviews, the Better Business Bureau and other consumer sites.
