How do you define car accident?
Car collisions usually carry legal consequences in proportion to the severity of the crash. Nearly all common law jurisdictions impose some kind of requirement that parties involved in a collision (even with only stationary property) must stop at the scene, and exchange insurance or identification information or summon the police. Failing to obey this requirement is referred to as hit and run and is generally a criminal offence. Most car accident claims are settled by using an

What do you do if you are in an auto accident?If you have been involved in a car accident, its quite possible that you or someone you love has suffered serious injuries or even been killed.
Car Accidents tend to leave debilitating results in their wake, as these machines weigh thousands of pounds, and the force generated by and average automobile crashing into something at 35 mph is enough to cause a building to collapse.
However, you are not without options if you have been involved in an accident. Clearly, your first step after an accident should be to seek and receive immediate medical attention, but after that step is taken, you should contact an attorney for a full consultation. Your attorney may be able to explain to you certain rights and/or options available to you that you may not have otherwise realized.
You Are Not AloneAccording to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, more than 6 million
Auto Accidentoccur every year in the United States, and that only includes those that occur on roads defined as “highways.” Of these accidents, more than 40,000 people per year are killed on the highways, and more than 2 million are injured. The statistical trends in regards to this data are disturbingly consistent as well.
What this means to you is that if you have been injured in an
Auto Accident, you are part of a dubious fraternity of millions who suffer as a result of crashes every year in the United States. This also means that there is a large body of law that’s in place that generally governs what your rights and legal options will be in regards to the responsible parties.
Your RightsThere are several legal standards that apply to almost any auto accident situation, and a few examples of these include basic negligence, contributory negligence, the presence of criminal activity and unsafe driving conditions. However, no two situations are ever exactly alike, but one common thread that exists is that you do stand to recover financially if you’ve been injured as a result of an auto accident that was not your fault.
In order to find out what those rights are, you need to contact a car accident attorney immediately for a full consultation. Get started on protecting your rights today. Call 1-800-369-5300 for a Free, No Obligation,
Auto Accident evaluation.

When to run to an attorney and when to walk.
Contacting an attorney who deals with personal injury (especially relating to auto accidents) can provide you with the peace of mind that no stone gets left unturned. Here are some tips for when you should run to an attorney and when you can just walk:
Run to an
Attorney when:
An injury has occurred where there has been serious injury (broken bones / hospitalization) or where injuries are likely to be permanent (paralysis);
A death has resulted from the accident;
Fault is clearly an issue;
Other parties were involved such as pedestrians or other autos;
The accident occurred in a construction area;
A police report does not accurately describe the accident and puts you at fault;
Important technical, legal or medical issues are involved;
The limits of your liability insurance are low,
You have no insurance,, or your insurance company suggests that you did not pay your premium.
Your insurer starts “acting funny.”
Your insurer involves its own attorney (in this case, sprint!).
Walk to an attorney when:
Seeking advice on the settlement value of a claim (while not an exact science, attorneys may be able to provide best and worse case scenarios);
Unsure if other insurance (homeowners, travel, etc.) may be available;
Fault may be an issue;
Determining whether your insurer may be acting in bad faith (not looking out for your best interests);
Seeking information on how to handle negotiations with an insurer;
You don’t know your rights;
Confused over the terms of your policy;
Needing an expert to review confusing paperwork or forms.

Do I need to contact an attorney after a car accident?
Generally speaking, it depends on what happened and what injuries were suffered, and to whom. If you and your family members have not been hurt, the answer is probably no. If you or anyone you care about has been injured in the car accident, especially if there is any permanent injury, or significant time is lost from work or school or household duties, then you’ll want to see a lawyer about possibly representing you in a claim against anyone else who may be responsible for your injuries. However, even if you’re not injured, don’t entirely rule it out as the facts and circumstances surrounding car accidents are always different. It is important to look at the degree of the
Car Accident and use your best judgment. A simple fender bender where no occupants are hurt can usually be appropriately handled through your insurer. Anything other than that deserves a bit more thought – especially in this litigious environment.
