Steps to Take If You’re in a Car Accident in Brockton, MA

If you’ve been involved in a car accident in the greater Brockton, Massachusetts, area or if you’ve been involved in any motor vehicle accident in the greater Brockton area, obtain prompt medical treatment. Even if you believe that your injuries are minor, seek medical attention. You could have internal injuries or other injuries that aren’t readily apparent. Medical documentation is key to any claim or case. An insurance company could argue that your injuries weren’t caused by the accident or aren’t serious because you did not obtain medical treatment immediately after the accident.

Collect contact information for the parties involved and any witnesses present at the scene. Document the accident scene by taking cellphone pictures and making detailed notes.

Your next step is to speak with an experienced Brockton car accident attorney about your case. A car accident attorney will help you understand your rights under the law and review all of the options that you have to recover for your injuries.

How Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers Can Help with Your Car Accident Claim

A car accident lawyer will perform an extensive investigation of the accident using experts, if necessary, and will work to collect evidence of the other driver’s negligence. A lawyer will look at whether another party is legally responsible for your injuries. Responsible parties could include an additional motorist, a car manufacturer or a town or city responsible for the road where the accident took place.

An attorney will also work with the other driver’s auto insurance company on your behalf so that you’re treated in a fair manner and receive full compensation for your injuries.

If the at-fault driver’s insurance policy doesn’t contain sufficient coverage to reimburse you for your injuries, you might be able to file a claim with your auto insurer and recover under your own insurance policy. An attorney will help you make that determination.

If an insurance company contacts you, you should refer the insurer to your car accident lawyer. You don’t have a legal duty to speak to an insurance company.

A common mistake that car accident victims make is accepting a settlement offer too early. Even minor car accident injuries can turn into major ones over time. Once you sign settlement papers, you’ve given up your ability to make any additional claims related to the accident. An experienced car accident attorney will prevent you from prematurely settling your claim.

Our Office Has Handled Claims for Accidents on Route 24 and Other Brockton, MA Roads

If you think you’re not at risk for being involved in a car accident or other motor vehicle accident, think again. Some studies indicate that fatal car accidents are declining, thanks partially to safety technology in newer cars. However, other studies show that, in general, motor vehicle accidents are increasing because of distracted driving behaviors such as drivers using cellphones while they are behind the wheel.

Brockton, Massachusetts, is the seventh largest city in the state, and as of 2019 the city had a population of 95,777. A large population translates to a large number of drivers on local roadways.
