The time period immediately following a car accident is crucial not only for your health, but for protecting your legal rights. Prior to any lawsuits being filed, you enter the pre-litigation phase during which critical steps must be taken. Knowing what to do after an accident can make a major difference in the outcome of your personal injury claim and help preserve your right to compensation.

The negotiation phase after a car accident is often the toughest part of resolving your claim. Insurance companies are skilled at minimizing payouts and may challenge the seriousness of your injuries, the necessity of your medical treatment, or the legitimacy of your lost wages. Getting through this process requires more than patience, it demands strong documentation and experienced legal representation.

Most car accident cases settle before reaching court. A car accident settlement is an agreement where you and the insurance company, usually through your attorney’s negotiation, decide on a fair amount to compensate your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.

If your car accident claim can’t be resolved through negotiation or insurance settlement, it may enter litigation, a formal legal process where your case is handled in court. Although litigation after a car accident can feel overwhelming, having an experienced personal injury lawyer by your side can make all the difference.
