FIRST 5 THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU'VE BEEN IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT

FIRST 5 THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU'VE BEEN IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT

If you have a driver license, it is likely that at least once in your lifetime you will be in an auto accident. Here are five immediate tips you can do to help protect yourself or your loved ones.

#1 - Get as much information as you can. Don't just rely on the police to document everything for you; even if you are hurt and do not require immediate medical attention.

#2 - Photograph, Photograph, Photograph! Take photos of all cars involved; especially before the vehicles are moved. This can help prove later on that the accident happened the way you say it happened. Also photograph your visible injuries; this can be important later when your visible injuries have already healed.

#3 - Gather Witness Contact Information - A non-biased witness can be important in proving your side of the accident. The other driver has their own version of what happened, having a witness can be helpful with strengthening your case.

#4 - Get the other driver's personal contact information and their insurance carrier's name and policy number. (see #1)

#5 - Most importantly, go get medical attention if you've been hurt. You don't have to 'tough it out'- if you're hurt, seek medical help.

An Unexpected Picture

I want to paint a picture for you.  I want you to think about your every day transportation commute.  People are taking their kids to school; people are driving to work; people are going to their doctor’s appointments, business meetings and if you’re in our line of work, the court house.  People are going to the grocery store, maybe a restaurant, maybe their friend’s house then on to a movie, etc. You get the point.

Now times that by the 100,000 other drivers driving around Guam around the same time.  100,000 plus strangers who you are putting your body and your life in the hands of every single day you get on the road. You’re counting on these strangers to be good drivers, not to take a drink, not to look at their phone, not to be distracted by the radio, to not be careless, etc.

Every day there is some type of automobile accident in Guam.  Every day some one is getting hurt, they’re getting soft tissue injuries, they’re getting broken bones, they’re getting serious injuries and sometimes people do lose their lives.

Now picture this, these good people, these victims of automobile accidents are counting on the insurance company to be fair.  They’re counting on these people, whose main job is to save their own company money, to be fair to you; to be fair to the person they do not represent.

I want you now to perceive what I’m trying to illustrate for you.  These insurance companies have their own attorneys.  Attorneys that represent the insurance company, who train the insurance adjuster on how to pick apart a claim, so they can try and get away of not paying what the victim truly deserves.

At The Law Office of Mark Williams, we are here to help you level the playing field.  We help you get full compensation for your personal injury.  We know how to negotiate with insurance company, we know how to challenge the insurance company when they try to soften the extent or cause of injuries.  We communicate with insurance adjustors and investigators, ensure all deadlines are met, negotiate for a full and fair settlement, and go to court when necessary to obtain fair compensation for your injuries.
