Here's what the auto accident victim should do at the scene, immediately following the incident:

What you do once the broken pieces have been swept up and the various parties leave the scene is equally critical.

Insurance companies seem to value a claim "higher" if there are ambulance and emergency room visits following an accident.

From a logical perspective, this does not make a lot of sense on "soft tissue" or "sprain/strain' types of injuries, because there is not much that these services can do for your overall health or rehabilitation.

If you have neurological injuries, fractures or other "higher trauma level" type injuries, then these services make more sense.

At this stage, you should contact your attorney.

In the hundreds of automobile cases, THE LAW OFFICES OF ALLAN S. FIELD has handled through the years; I can say the SOONER AFTER AN ACCIDENT I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY THE INJURED PARTY, THE BETTER I CAN MAXIMIZE THEIR ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT.

Our offices will select the appropriate medical professional in consideration of the area you live or work (for convenience of treatment) and for the nature and severity of your injuries.

It is imperative, even at the initial emergency room level that you are clear and specific with the attending physicians as to the fact that you were in an accident which caused these injuries and exactly what hurts due to the trauma.

Clear and concise medical records help increase all case value at time of settlement.

One of the main factors in our election of the right doctor for your continuing treatment is to ensure that the records and reports of the medical specialists are designed to maximize the presentation of your claim at the conclusion of treatment.

Next time, we will discuss how the insurance company places a value on your claim.

The sad reality is, if you drive or ride a motor vehicle on a frequest basis, you will experience an automobile accident at some point in your life.

The LAW OFFICES of ALLAN S. FIELD have over 25 years of experience in handling automobile accidents and typically settle dozens of claims every year.

For the rest of you "normal people" such an event will be an unique and unwanted experience.

Because of this fact, many accident victims make critical mistakes immediately following an accident which serves to do irreparable harm to the case.

Most important, a victim should never have a "chatty" conversation with the driver of the other vehicle at the scene of the accident (or subsequently for that matter).

If there is a police officer on the scene who is gathering information for a report (which happens less frequently these days) then by all means disclose what you recall to his / her inquiries.

I cannot tell how many victims I have represented who didn't even think an attorney was neccesary because the other party was "so nice" or "admitted fault" or "just wanted to keeps things simple" only to find to their surpirse that, all of a sudden, the other party did a "180" in their version of what happened and the "friendly insurance adjuster" was not really their friend after all.

But once these mistakes are made by the accident victim it is often too late to "put the horse back in the barn".
