Louisiana State University's Highway Safety Research Group recently published a report stating that in Louisiana, there were 166,000 car accidents that caused 13,267 injuries in 2017. Despite the advancements that car companies have made in safety, even minor auto accidents can lead to serious injuries.
If you've been hurt in a car accident, you can't always trust your insurance company to help you cover the cost of damage to your car, medical bills and lost wages. If your insurance provider is treating you unfairly, the auto accident lawyers at Shanklin Sosa Injury Law can help you get the compensation you deserve.
After an accident, you should move your car to a safe position on the side of the road, unless your vehicle is too damaged to do so. If you or anyone else involved in the accident is seriously injured, call 911 for medical assistance. Then, call the police to file an accident report.
The police will take statements from every driver and passenger involved in the accident and interview any witnesses. While you're waiting for the police to arrive, you should exchange insurance information with the other drivers and take pictures of your car, the other cars and the scene of the accident.
