Automobile Accidents

Thousands of people are involved in injury-related motor vehicle accidents every year, as drivers, passengers or pedestrians. If you are injured in an automobile accident, you should seek immediate medical attention. If you are seriously injured, you need an attorney who will protect your rights throughout the entire post-accident process. Insurance companies do not always have your best interest in mind. You need qualified attorneys on your side. The attorneys at Lipsitz & Ponterio, LLC handle all types of motor vehicle accident cases, including driver and passenger injury cases, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents.

1. Immediately following your automobile accident, whether you are a pedestrian who was hit by a car, a bicyclist, driver and/or passenger involved in an auto accident, contact the police.
2. If you have been injured, contact appropriate medical personnel immediately.
3. Do not sign any agreement, admit to fault or provide statements to any insurance adjustor who may show up at the accident scene. The time period immediately following an accident leaves victims vulnerable, and during this time, victims are likely to provide inaccurate statements due to injury, confusion or stress that the accident has caused. 
4. Call your insurance company as soon as possible to report the accident. It is very important that you do this immediately, so that your insurance agency can begin to pay bills related to the accident. Failure to file a report with your insurance company could mean that loss of claim money related to your accident.
