After a hard day, you’re sitting at a red light. You’re reaching down to adjust the radio station when…CRASH! You were struck by another vehicle that was not paying attention to the road. You both exit your vehicles to inspect the damage. You’re both alright, and the damage to your automobiles is small.
It’s been a hard day, so you decide against calling the cops to register a report or exchanging any information with them. But now, you might be wondering if it is really necessary to employ an attorney after a minor vehicle accident. The short answer is yes. You should hire a Sand Springs car wreck lawyer even after a minor accident.
Dealing with the Other Driver
So, you exchanged information with the other motorist, shook hands, and continued on your way without informing the authorities about the small vehicle accident. Suddenly, you’re summoned to court a few weeks later because the “other” person has filed their own lawsuit against you.
You know they were at fault, and you know the injuries and property damage they claim you inflicted are exaggerated, if not completely fake. Remember when you decided to leave without filing a report? You have now firmly entrenched yourself in a “you say, they say” scenario. This is when it’s important to have a good Sand Springs car wreck lawyer.
Hidden Injuries
Straining tendons, strained ligaments, and contusions aren’t generally considered, but they should be. You could wake up with significant back pain tomorrow or the next day if your body shifted forward, your neck jerked back, or you moved forward suddenly. The adrenaline rush that comes after an accident might conceal an injury. For more information, please visit The Law Office of Mark L. Miller.
