Steps to Take After a Serious Accident or Injury

Experiencing a serious accident or injury can be a traumatic and overwhelming experience. Knowing what steps to take in the aftermath is crucial when it comes to protecting your rights and ensuring your well-being.

Here are the essential steps you should consider taking after a serious accident or injury:

Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Your health and well-being should always be the top priority. If you’ve been injured in an accident, seek medical attention right away, even if you believe your injuries are minor. Prompt medical care not only ensures your safety but also creates a record of your injuries, which can be valuable for your personal injury claim.
Report the Incident: Depending on the nature of the accident, it may be necessary to report it to the appropriate authorities. For example, after a car accident, you should contact the police and file a police report. If you were injured on someone else’s property, notify the property owner or manager. Reporting the incident helps create an official record and establishes the facts surrounding the accident.
Gather Evidence: Collect as much evidence as possible from the accident scene. This may include photographs or videos of the scene, the vehicles involved (in the case of a car accident), or any hazardous conditions that contributed to your injury. Take note of any witnesses and their contact information. Preserve any physical evidence related to the accident, such as damaged clothing or equipment.
Document Your Injuries and Damages: Keep a detailed record of your injuries, medical treatments, and any ongoing symptoms or pain. Retain all medical records, bills, and receipts related to your treatment. Additionally, document any other damages you incurred as a result of the accident, such as lost wages and property damage. This documentation will be essential when seeking compensation for your losses.
Notify Insurance Companies: Contact your insurance company to report the accident and initiate the claims process. Be cautious when providing statements or discussing the incident, as anything you say could potentially be used against you. It is advisable to consult with a personal injury attorney before engaging in extensive discussions with insurance adjusters.
Consult with a Personal Injury Attorney: Seeking advice from an experienced personal injury attorney is crucial following a serious accident or injury. Our team at Lanier Law Group, P.A. can provide guidance on your legal rights, help you navigate the complex claims process, and protect your interests. Our experienced attorneys can assess your case, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and, if necessary, represent you in court.
Be Mindful of Deadlines: Keep in mind that personal injury claims have strict deadlines called statutes of limitations. These deadlines vary depending on your jurisdiction and the type of accident or injury. In South Carolina, you have just three years from the date of the accident or injury (with some, rare exceptions) to file a personal injury lawsuit.

Remember, every case is unique, so it’s important to consult with a qualified personal injury attorney who has experience handling similar cases. We can guide you through the specific steps necessary for your situation and work towards obtaining the compensation you deserve.

Should You Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

While there is no law that states you must hire a personal injury lawyer, there are many reasons to do so. Not only can an experienced attorney help you navigate the often complex legal system, but they can also ensure your rights are protected every step of the way. Working with an attorney significantly increases the chances of a positive outcome in your case and could increase the amount you recover for your damages.

"20 out of 10 stars."

There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it’s interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don’t have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.

"Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members"

I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!

"So thankful for your expertise and professionalism"

Mrs. Gonzalez did an awesome job of explaining everything in detail and keeping me informed on the status of my case. Despite poor customer service with the insurance company, Mrs. Gonzalez was able to fix what they could not. Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.
