DO'S AND DON'TS AFTER AN ACCIDENT

undefined

Have you experienced a slip-and-fall, car accident, or injury from a defective product? You may qualify for compensation in a personal injury case!

Do: 

  • Document contact information and names for all people present at the scene of the accident, including witnesses.
  • Photograph any injuries and damages from a variety of angles; there is no such thing as too many photos. 
  • If you are required to contact insurance after an accident, answer their questions factually and honestly.
  • Speak with a personal injury lawyer!

Don’t:

  • Admit fault to anyone at the accident scene. 
  • Answer opinion-based questions or provide any opinions to the insurance company. 
  • Wait to file your lawsuit for more than three years from the date of injury or you will be outside North Carolina’s statute of limitations.
