Car accidents are traumatic and it is natural to feel confused afterward about what to do and how you will pay for your medical bills. The insurance company representing the liable party may have already offered you a settlement, and you may be tempted to accept it. However, this is likely a mistake. There is a strong possibility that the offer is not enough to fully cover the cost of your injuries and other losses. Our Natchitoches car accident lawyer can review the offer, accurately value your claim, and help you obtain the maximum damages you deserve.

Common Types of Car Accidents

The nature and severity of the injuries you sustain in a crash will largely depend on the type of car accident you were involved in. The most common types of car accidents we can help with include:

  • Rear-end collisions
  • Head-on collisions
  • Sideswipe accidents
  • Drunk driving accidents
  • Uninsured motorist accidents
  • Hit and run accidents
  • Left-turn accidents
  • Rollover accidents
  • Rideshare accidents

Regardless of how you were injured in a crash, we can provide the sound legal advice you need during this difficult time.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Louisiana

The actions you take after a car accident can either greatly help your claim, or hurt it. The most important steps to take after a car accident are as follows:

  • Exchange driver’s license numbers, names, contact information, and insurance information with all other drivers involved.
  • If you are able to, take pictures of the entire accident scene, your injuries, and damage to any vehicle involved.
  • Call the police to report the accident and call them to the scene.
  • Remain at the scene until law enforcement arrives. Do not leave unless you have to seek medical help.
  • Seek medical attention at the scene or at an emergency room afterwards, even if you do not think you were hurt.
  • Contact a Natchitoches car accident lawyer who can provide legal advice.

What Not to Do After a Car Accident

Just as there are certain things you should do after a crash, there are also specific things you should avoid doing. These include:

  • Do not apologize, even if it is just to say you are sorry the crash happened at all.
  • Do not make any statements about how you feel, as many injuries do not show symptoms right away.
  • Do not provide the insurance company with a recorded statement.
  • Do not sign a medical release that allows the insurer to go through your medical records.
  • Do not sign any settlement offer until a lawyer has reviewed it.
