1. Can I handle my own car Accident?
You should call the police immediately after experiencing a vehicle collision.
Without a police report there is no documentation about the accident.
An
enforcement officer must always intervene to determine which parties are at fault.
Oftentimes, when the police intervention is not used, parties who don’t want to be
responsible for the injuries and damages caused, provide a fake name and address.
In some cases, they say it was not their fault and/or disagree about any damages.
Solving a car crash on your own without first calling the police can be a nightmare.
You won’t even be able to file a claim because there is no record about when the
accident occurred. Going to an emergency room can cost you several thousands of
dollars. You should always go to the doctor even when you don’t feel pain or you are
not sure if you were injured. When the initial shock of the accident wears off your
body stops producing endorphins. That means you’ll hurt more. Emotional and
psychological damage is also possible.
Repairing your can be very costly. If there is no record of your accident you will be
responsible for all the damages. There are charges for towing you car, getting a
rental car and fixing whatever was broken. Even when the police didn’t file charges,
the insurance companies can find you at fault therefore it’s advisable to call an
accident lawyer in your area.
