What to Do (and Not Do) After a Car Crash
The steps you take in the hours and days after an accident are critical. Insurance companies will be looking for any reason to devalue your claim. Here is a straightforward guide to help you protect yourself.
If you have questions or are unsure about the next steps, contact us for a free, confidential case review.
What You Should Do
- DO Seek Medical Attention. Even if you feel fine, some serious injuries have delayed symptoms. A medical record is crucial evidence.
- DO Report the Accident. Call the police from the scene and make sure an official accident report is filed.
- DO Document Everything. Take photos and videos of the scene, your vehicle, your injuries, and get contact info from any witnesses, if you can.
- DO Keep All Paperwork. Save everything, including medical bills, repair estimates, and receipts for any related expenses.
- DO Follow Your Doctor's Orders. Attend all of your medical appointments and follow your treatment plan. This is vital for your health and for your claim.
What You Should NOT Do
- DON'T Give a Recorded Statement. You are not required to give a recorded statement to the other party's insurance. They can use your words against you.
- DON'T Apologize or Admit Fault. Even a simple "I'm sorry" can be misinterpreted as an admission of guilt. Stick to the facts.
- DON'T Post About Your Accident on Social Media. Insurance companies will search your profiles for photos or comments they can use to argue you aren't really injured.
- DON'T Accept the First Settlement Offer. Early offers are almost always far less than the true value of your claim. It's a tactic to get you to settle for less.
- DON'T Sign Anything Without a Review. Do not sign any documents from an insurance company, like a medical authorization, without having it reviewed. You may be signing away your rights.
Handling Your Claim Alone vs. With Pinnacle Injury Firm
See the difference a dedicated car accident law firm can make for your car accident insurance claim.
Handling It Yourself
- You deal directly with trained insurance adjusters whose job is to pay as little as possible.
- You might only consider your immediate car repairs and medical bills.
- It's easy to miss a critical filing deadline (Statute of Limitations), which can permanently end your case.
- You may think you are saving money, but the hidden costs are significant: your time spent investigating, the energy diverted from your recovery, and the very real financial loss from making a mistake or accepting a lowball offer.
- Victims often accept the first lowball offer because they don't know the real value of their claim.

Your Questions, Answered
If you have more questions beyond the following, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Is it worth getting an attorney for a car accident?
Absolutely. While you can handle a claim yourself, insurance companies have teams of adjusters working to pay as little as possible. We can level the playing field, handle all the complex paperwork and negotiations, and work to identify all sources of compensation—many of which you may not be aware of—to make sure the outcome is fair.
How much do car accident attorneys cost?
Our law firm charges nothing upfront and works on a contingency fee basis. This means we only receive a fee if we successfully recover compensation for you. If there is no recovery, you owe us nothing. The initial consultation and case review are always free.
How long does a car insurance claim take to settle?
The timeline varies. A straightforward claim might settle in a few months, while a more complex case may take longer. A major factor is waiting until you have a clear understanding of your long-term medical prognosis. Rushing to a quick settlement often means leaving money on the table. Our focus is on getting the right result, not just the fastest one.
How long does an insurance company have to process a claim?
The time limits for an insurer to respond to and resolve a claim vary by state. These regulations can be complex. If you feel an insurance company is delaying your claim unfairly, a tactic sometimes used to frustrate victims into giving up, we can step in to assert your rights and demand action.
What if I'm not sure if I have a strong case?
That’s a very common feeling, and it’s exactly why we offer a free case review. You can tell us what happened with no cost and no obligation. We will give you a straightforward assessment of your options so you can make an informed decision.
Who pays for my car and my medical bills? How do auto and health insurance work together?
- Your Property Damage Claim (For Your Vehicle): This claim is for the repair or replacement of your car. It is filed against the at-fault driver’s auto insurance. This part of the process is usually the most straightforward and is resolved relatively quickly.
- Your Personal Injury Claim (For You): This claim is for your medical treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The process is more complex:
- Initially, your own health insurance is typically used to pay your doctors and the hospital right away so there are no delays in your care. Your auto policy’s “Medical Payments” (MedPay) coverage might also be used here.
- Ultimately, the goal of your personal injury claim is to get the at-fault driver’s auto insurance to pay for the entirety of your damages. This includes reimbursing you and your health insurer for any medical bills, covering your lost income, and providing compensation for what you’ve been through.
It’s a complicated process with many moving parts. Our role is to manage all of these different claims and insurance companies on your behalf, ensuring everything is handled correctly so you can focus on your recovery.
