Preserve your Rights After a Car Accident

An Oregon car accident car lawyer can help you preserve your rights after a car accident. When you or a family member are involved in an accident it is good to have a legal professional on your side.

It's never a good idea to make a statement or sign any papers after an accident before you contact an Oregon accident lawyer. When you make a statement or sign a document you may find yourself in trouble because the information you provide can be legally binding. There are times when this information will be used against you.

You should seek medical attention before you do anything else. Even if you think your injury is a minor one, see a medical professional just to make sure. It is important to have the report of a doctor because even if your injuries appear to be minor you may suffer complications later. If this happens you will have documentation of the initial exam and this may entitle you to receive a larger settlement.

As soon as possible write down all the details of the accident. If you have a camera, take pictures. Anything you can document will help you and the fresher your memory when you do it, the better.

Get all the names, phone numbers, and addresses of everyone involved in the accident. You will want to call an Oregon car accident lawyer as soon as you can. The lawyer will be able to advise you of your rights and options.
