If you are wondering what to do after you’ve been in a wreck, read on to learn advice from an experienced lawyer who practices Las Vegas injury law.

The first thing that you need to do after a car wreck is to stop and provide assistance to other parties involved in the accident. Generally speaking, rendering aid involves calling the police and asking if everyone is OK. If anyone does need assistance, you should relay that to emergency personnel, and they can help that person first after arriving on the scene.

If you removed an accident victim from his or her vehicle, it could result in head or neck injuries. It could also lead to a person’s death in certain situations. While you may not be criminally liable for your actions, the victim or the victim’s family may file a civil suit claiming that your actions were negligent or reckless.

In such a scenario, a jury may find that you were responsible for an individual’s pain and suffering. The only time that you might not be considered to be reckless or negligent in providing assistance is if you had first aid or other relevant training. Las Vegas injury lawyers may be able to provide more information about the legal ramifications of helping at an accident scene.

It is possible that rendering aid could put yourself in harm’s way. For instance, you can’t tell if a car is leaking gas that could become flammable without warning. If the roads are covered with snow and ice, another vehicle could slide out of its lane or off of the road. That could result in the vehicle striking you or the vehicle that the person who you are trying to help is in.

After an accident, be sure to focus on your safety and that of others in your vehicle. As long as you stop and call the police, you have done your duty to help after an accident takes place.

Once your doctors release you from medical treatment and you return to your pre-accident status, we will make sure that the at fault party compensates you for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering as well as any additional future medical treatment you may need.  Arriving at a dollar amount is not easy, but that is where our many years of experience come in. We have settled, gone to court, and gone to trial for our clients and we will give you the advice you need so that you can make the decisions that are best for you.

If we are not able to get the insurance company to make a fair settlement offer, we will file a lawsuit and push forward until the insurance company steps up with a fair and reasonable settlement offer. If they continue to refuse to pay you what your case is worth, we will go to trial for you and let a jury decide. Most insurance companies are scared to go to trial. At Moss Berg Injury Lawyers we are not afraid. We know what juries will do and we will advise you properly so that you know what to expect.
