What to Do After a Boise, Idaho Car Accident

In the adrenaline-packed moments after a car accident, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed, angry, upset, and stressed. Many people, even experts, sometimes find themselves at a loss regarding what steps they should take after a car accident. If you’ve been in a crash, the first step you should always take is to seek medical attention for your injuries, make sure everyone at the scene is safe, and call 911 to make a police report. Here are the steps you can take after a Boise, Idaho car accident to protect your rights:

  • Call 911. Under Boise, Idaho law, you must call the police after a car accident that involves the death or injury of another person, and you must call the police if the accident resulted in property damage in excess of $1,500. Even if you think the damage to your vehicle is minor, it is still a good idea to call the police and make a report. Sometimes injuries may not always be apparent at the scene of the crash and sometimes damage to a vehicle that appears minor can be expensive to repair.
  • Seek Medical Attention. Again, even if you think your injuries are minor, you may still want to follow up with a doctor. Some injuries don’t appear immediately after an accident. Injuries like whiplash, traumatic brain injury, and post-traumatic stress disorder can sometimes take days or even weeks before a victim experiences symptoms. If you have been in an accident, seek medical attention and follow your doctor’s instructions.
  • Tell Your Insurance Company You’ve Been in an Accident. If you’ve been in an accident, your insurance company might want you to let them know as soon as possible.
  • Exchange Contact Information with the Other Driver and Witnesses. Get the contact information, insurance information, and the make, model, and license plate number of the other car involved in your crash.
  • Take Photos. Photograph your injuries and damage to your vehicle. If you can photograph the position of both vehicles after the car accident, that can also be helpful for investigators who might want to better understand what happened.
  • Contact a Car Accident Lawyer. Not all car accident claims will need to be taken to a lawyer. If, for example, you were in a minor fender bender, are happy with the settlement your insurance is providing, or if there was no damage or injuries, you may not need a personal injury lawyer. However, if you were seriously injured, you may want to speak to a Boise car accident lawyer at Montgomery Dowdle. Determining the value of a car accident claim can be an involved process that may include speaking to experts to estimate the value of future medical expenses and lost wages. You and your family might also be entitled to receive money to cover your pain and suffering. Families sometimes accept what they believe is a significant settlement from their insurance company, unaware that they might have been entitled to receive more.

My initial experience with the insurance company after my car accident was a nightmare. I tried to handle the case myself but the stress of my unpaid medical bills, collection companies, and the constant fight with the insurance company kept me up at night. I was getting jerked around and knew I needed help. I contacted Gary Montgomery and explained my case. He took over and my stress melted away. Gary obtained the policy limit and put a hefty chunk of change in my pocket. All I had to do was sign a few papers and Gary did the rest. If you’re battling insurance companies and you have a valid case, get Gary Montgomery to represent you, it’s the best choice I made in my case.
