Daytona Beach Car Accident Attorneys
You or a friend or a family member recently got into a Daytona Beach car accident. Whether some driver who fancied himself a NASCAR prodigy rammed you on the freeway, or you got banged in the parking lot of a supermarket and suffered injuries to your lower back and neck, you need a specific battle plan for how to pursue your claim and, perhaps more importantly, to make sure that the process does not eat up too much of your time or resources.
Steps to take immediately filing your Daytona Beach car accident
- Get medical help, if you need it. Odds are, you do need it, even if you don't think so. Accident victims in "shock" often underplay the extent of their injuries because the endorphins released after the accident literally prevent the body from feeling as much pain as it normally would.
- Call the police - Dial 911 ASAP, if the accident involves injuries to anybody or if it involves damage in excess of $500 to property. It's the law, according to the state of Florida.
- Gather information - Collect names, numbers, and other identifying info from witnesses and other participants in the accident. Get insurance info, VIN numbers, license plate and driver's license info, and pictures of the accident and any injuries you have. If you are too hurt to get this information, task a witness or a fellow passenger to get the info for you. It can really help you later on if you want to pursue litigation against a driver or another party.
- Avoid making statements of fault - In general, it's good to steer clear of discussions about fault and instead hew close to the facts. You can always later consult a Daytona Beach car accident lawyer - such as Farah & Farah - to figure out your best next steps.
Avoid Daytona Beach Car Accidents
Here are some quick tips for preventing Daytona Beach traffic accidents in the future:
- Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs or while distracted by things like your cell phone, the radio, or even other passengers.
- Avoid driving a lot during "dangerous" times, such as the 4th of July, New Year's Eve, and Friday and Saturday nights.
- Get your car tuned up regularly - faulty brakes, bad accelerators, and unrotated or balding tires can cause or contribute to accidents.
- Take a defensive drivers course - it never hurts to refresh your knowledge of the rules of the road.
