Car Accidents

Car crashes can happen anywhere at any time due to the reckless and negligent behavior of another driver. If you are involved in an auto accident due to the fault of another driver, contact our experienced attorneys at Cecere Law, LLC in Rockville, Maryland as soon as possible to protect your rights and help you get the financial compensation that you deserve.

What to do after a car crash:

• Make sure you are in a safe, well-lit area and call the police.
• If you or another person is injured, inform the dispatcher so that they can send an ambulance. While ambulance bills may cause alarm, your health and safety should be your number one priority.
• If possible, make sure to collect relevant information regarding the car accident and the other driver. This includes the other driver’s name, address, phone number, license plate number, car insurance and registration information. Take photographs of the other driver’s license, insurance card and registration card.
• Take photographs of all damage to your vehicle, as well as the other driver’s vehicle, including the other vehicle’s license plate.
• Take photographs and/or movies of the area of the accident.
• If there are eyewitnesses, obtain their name and contact information. Obtain or take photographs of their business card(s) if possible.
• If police come to the scene, write down or record the officer’s name, badge number, telephone number and police department. Obtain the accident report number if a report is prepared. If no injuries are reported at the scene, police may not prepare a report of the accident, thus it is important to collect all the information you can.
• Inform your insurance company that you were in a car accident and open a claim with your PIP or medical benefits coverage (if you are a DC resident be sure to speak with your lawyers at Cecere Law, LLC before opening a PIP claim since this may affect you right to later claim against the wrongdoing party). Do NOT go into details about your accident or injuries. Refer the insurance company to your lawyers at Cecere Law, LLC in Rockville, Maryland. If the other driver’s insurance company contacts you, refer them to your attorneys and do NOT provide a recorded statement. (Please remember to be polite to all customer service employees – they are just doing their job).
• Seek medical care for your injuries; report all pains and problems you are experiencing to your healthcare providers; and treat until your injuries have resolved and/or you are released from care by your healthcare providers. Not sure where to go for treatment? We can refer to you to the appropriate healthcare providers, if needed.

It is not unusual to experience the effects of injuries from an accident several hours or even several days after the accident. Thus, it is important that you contact your attorney as soon as possible following you accident so that he/she can advise you on the best course of action.

When determining how much your accident is worth, the specific facts and its overall impact on your life must be taken into account. There is no universal sum or formula.
