At the scene of the collision, do not tell the investigating officer or the adverse driver that you are not hurt unless the collision is very minor and you are 100% positive you are not hurt. You never get rewarded by being a hero and saying, "Oh, I'm not really hurt." If you are numb or start to ache, be sensible and protect your own interests and those of your family by stating that you are going to the emergency room to be examined. If you or your passengers are hurting at the scene, request that EMS be called for an on the scene examination of any potentially injured parties.

A driver's liability for an automobile collision is generally regulated by State Statutes and by Common Law. Any injuries resulting from an automobile collision must be related directly or proximately to the event that occurred, i.e., that automobile collision. This "relation to" has to be done with professional testimony, such as that of a physician, unless you receive broken bones or severe lacerations and bruises which are obvious at the scene of the collision.

When we accept a client's automobile collision case, we collect our attorney's fees out of the adverse insurance funds collected for you. Additionally, suit expenses may be advanced by the client or our firm, but we always attempt to collect suit expenses from the adverse insurance funds. These matters will be discussed and agreed to when you contract with our firm to handle your case.
