As soon as possible, get yourself to a safe spot away from the accident scene.
From here, notify emergency medical services.
First responders can check you out and take you to the nearest hospital if you or any of your passengers have sustained car accident injuries.
From here, you’ll want to notify your insurance company of the accident.
Your insurance company must be aware of your accident to provide you with post-accident coverage.
Last and most importantly, contact a car accident lawyer as soon as you’re able to.
A car accident lawyer can assess your case and determine if you’re eligible to take legal action.

Not every car accident requires the services of a car accident lawyer, but in certain situations, having a lawyer by your side can make all the difference.
Some scenarios where you should consider hiring a car accident lawyer include:
If you’ve sustained severe injuries due to your car accident, hiring a lawyer is almost always a smart move.
Personal injury claims are complex, and the amount of compensation you can recover often depends on the expertise of your lawyer.
Personal injury lawyers who specialize in car accidents help you determine the full extent of your damages, which goes beyond just your medical bills.
You may be entitled to compensation for:
If the accident occurred because of someone else’s negligence, you have the right to hold the negligent driver accountable.
Proving fault can be tricky, especially when insurance companies try to shift the blame.
A car accident lawyer will:
Your lawyer can strengthen your case and help maximize your settlement amount.
What makes car accident claims tricky is the response of most insurance companies.
Most companies will try to save money by discrediting your claim altogether.
Companies will have their legal teams try to poke holes into various aspects of your personal injury claim.
By doing so, you’ll be unable to recover compensation.
Your car accident lawyer can prevent this from happening.
Your attorney will provide legal representation and negotiate with companies, fighting aggressively to ensure that you’re compensated for your losses and injuries.
To avoid a lengthy legal battle, the at-fault driver’s insurance company may come to you with an offer.
Under no circumstances should you accept it.
Because insurance companies are in the business of settling claims while saving money, the offer will likely be a lowball offer that barely compensates you for your injuries.
To recover compensation fully, you must have a car accident attorney to negotiate settlements on your behalf.
As your advocate, your attorney can present the full extent of damages, the other driver’s negligence, and the ideal settlement amount to the insurance company.
Your lawyer places the insurance company on the hook to offer fair compensation and not a cent less.
One of the most frustrating aspects of handling a car accident claim is dealing with insurance companies.
While insurers may seem like they’re on your side, their primary goal is often to minimize payouts.
A car accident lawyer can help protect your interests by:
When considering whether to hire a car accident lawyer, timing is everything.
Here’s a general timeline of when it’s best to take action.
Contact a car accident attorney immediately after the car accident.
This is also the time for gathering evidence.
After you’ve contacted your lawyer, gather photos of the scene, contact information of witnesses, and a copy of the police report.
While these can be done by your car accident lawyer, available evidence can help your attorney initiate the case evaluation process immediately.
Of course, you may be physically unable to contact an attorney, especially if you’re recovering from injuries.
You can still hire an attorney days or weeks after your accident.
The days following the accident may also be a good time to contact your insurance company.
Doing this enables you to receive insurance coverage.
By filing an insurance claim, you’ll be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses (like medical bills and car repairs).
Getting legal representation months after your accident is still possible.
For the first few months, there’s a chance that the other driver’s insurance company will contact you to offer a settlement.
An attorney can evaluate the offer for you and determine whether or not it’s fair.
Every state has a statute of limitations or a deadline for filing a lawsuit.
In Missouri, for example, you must file a claim within five years of the accident date.
Failing to do so means forfeiting your right to compensation.
This may seem like a long time.
Take note that car accident claims can take a long time, so contacting your attorney as soon as possible is still your best bet.
Your attorney can file your car accident lawsuit within your state’s deadlines.
By doing so, your attorney ensures that your claim isn’t disqualified and that you retain your right to recover compensation.
While hiring a lawyer might seem like an extra expense, the long-term benefits far outweigh the cost.
The earlier you get a lawyer involved, the better prepared you will be to protect your rights and maximize your compensation.
Benefits of hiring a car accident attorney early include:
The sooner your lawyer can start gathering and preserving evidence, the stronger your case will be.
Important evidence like photographs of the accident scene, witness statements, and even the police report can become harder to access as time passes.
Keep in mind that road conditions might change, witnesses’ memories can fade, and crucial details may be overlooked.
A lawyer can make sure everything is properly documented right from the start, preventing valuable evidence from being lost.
Insurance companies often reach out to accident victims right away, sometimes within hours of the crash.
Their goal is to minimize the amount of money they have to pay out.
Without legal help, you might accidentally say something that weakens your claim or agree to a low settlement offer.
When you have a lawyer handling these communications, they can protect you from saying anything that could hurt your case.
Your attorney will deal with the insurance companies on your behalf, ensuring that your rights are protected.
Every state has laws that set a deadline for filing a lawsuit after a car accident.
This is known as the statute of limitations.
In most states like Illinois, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a car accident claim.
Some cases, like those involving government entities, have much shorter deadlines.
Missing these deadlines could mean losing your right to seek compensation forever.
By hiring a lawyer early, you can be sure that all the necessary paperwork and legal filings are submitted on time.
Many people assume that their compensation will only cover their medical bills and car repairs, but the reality is that you may be eligible for much more.
A lawyer can help you uncover additional areas of compensation or car accident damages, such as:
Hiring a lawyer early on ensures that these aspects of your case are thoroughly evaluated, helping you get the maximum compensation you deserve.
Dealing with the aftermath of a car accident can be stressful.
There are medical bills, car repairs, insurance companies, and legal paperwork to manage — all while you’re trying to recover from your injuries.
Having a lawyer take over the legal side of things allows you to focus on healing.
Your lawyer will handle the claims process, negotiate with insurance companies, and ensure all deadlines are met.
This peace of mind is invaluable, especially when you’re dealing with the physical and emotional toll of an accident.
While hiring a lawyer might seem like an extra expense, the long-term benefits far outweigh the cost.
A skilled car accident lawyer will:
If you’ve been in a car accident, don’t hesitate to take legal action.
After seeking medical attention, contacting a car accident lawyer can help ensure you get the compensation you deserve while avoiding costly mistakes.
At TorHoerman Law, we represent car accident victims and have recovered billions in personal injury settlements.

You should hire a car accident lawyer as soon as possible after the accident, especially if you have suffered serious injuries or if the other driver’s insurance company is disputing your claim.
Hiring a lawyer early helps protect your rights, ensures valuable evidence is preserved, and allows your attorney to handle communications with the insurance company.
By hiring a car accident lawyer immediately, you improve your chances of recovering fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other accident-related damages.
A car accident lawyer can help you navigate the complex insurance claim process by negotiating with the insurance company, gathering necessary evidence such as police reports and medical records, and proving the other driver’s negligence.
Personal injury attorneys can also ensure that you are not taken advantage of by insurance adjusters, who often try to minimize payouts.
With legal representation, car accident victims can seek the compensation they deserve for serious injuries, property damage, and financial recovery after the accident.
While a minor car accident may not always require a lawyer, hiring a car accident attorney can still be beneficial if there are any disputes with the other driver’s insurance company or if injuries appear after the fact.
Insurance companies may attempt to offer low settlements, and having a lawyer ensures you receive fair compensation for any property damage, medical costs, or other expenses.
Even for minor accidents, it’s worth consulting a lawyer to understand your rights and options.
Hiring a car accident lawyer early in the process allows your attorney to gather crucial evidence from the accident scene, secure witness statements, and preserve medical records, all of which strengthen your car accident claim.
Early legal representation also helps avoid mistakes in communication with the insurance company, ensuring you don’t say anything that could harm your case.
By involving a lawyer early, car accident victims can maximize their chances of securing fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
When hiring a car accident lawyer, look for someone with experience handling car accident cases, especially those involving serious injuries and complex insurance claims.
Choose a lawyer with a strong track record of success in personal injury lawsuits and who offers a free consultation.
It’s also important to hire a car accident lawyer who works on a contingency fee basis, so you only pay attorney fees if you recover compensation for your injuries and damages.
A skilled legal team can help ensure a fair settlement and guide you through the legal system.
If you were in an accident with an uninsured motorist, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage.
This type of insurance, required in Missouri, is designed to protect you in situations where the at-fault driver does not have insurance.
After the accident, it’s important to file a claim with your insurance company under your uninsured motorist policy.
This can help cover medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages caused by the accident.
Having an experienced attorney can ensure your rights are protected and that your uninsured motorist coverage is fully utilized.
