For teen drivers, learning about safe driving practices and abiding by it is a start in keeping the roads safe. These practices, however, should include things to do in case of auto emergencies. For drivers and passengers, here are steps on what to do in case of a vehicular accident:
  1. Contact medical help for you and/or passengers.
  2. Contact the police and follow their instructions. If you’re in an unsafe area, you can go to the nearest public place or police station and contact the authorities.
  3. Obtain names, addresses, contact numbers, and insurance information of those involved and potential witnesses.
  4. Call your emergency contact – parents or guardian – and let them know where you are and what had happened.
  5. Inform your auto insurance agent or company.

A lot of personal injury lawyers raise their contingency fee throughout the process, charging 1/3 if the case is settled pre-suit, charging 40% if the case is filed after a lawsuit is filed, and charging 50% if the case goes to trial. We don’t. At 844 See Mike, our personal injury contingency fee is always 1/3 and that’s not changing. We will handle your property damage claim FOR FREE.  We will never change our contingency fee throughout the process.  You will not owe us a penny unless you get money.
