First Thing To Do After A Car Accident That Is Not Your Fault

  • Pull as far out of the path of oncoming traffic as you safely can.
  • Call 911.
  • If you are able, provide aid to anyone who needs it at the scene until emergency help arrives.
  • Accept medical attention at the scene if it’s offered, and if it isn’t, seek the medical attention you need as soon after the accident as possible.
  • Consult with an experienced Kansas City car accident attorney.
  • Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully.

By following these important steps, you help ensure that you will obtain the compensation to which you are entitled and that you need to make your fullest recovery.

Car Accidents FAQ

Will my case go to court?

The vast majority of car accident claims are settled out of court, so it is unlikely that yours will go to court.

If you want to obtain the compensation to which you are entitled and that you need to regain your health and well-being, you are well-advised to have an experienced car accident attorney in your corner.

What if I am partially to blame?

Many accident victims automatically blame themselves in the heat of the moment, even if this isn’t the case. Further, the law allows you to seek compensation even if you share fault.
