Car Accident

When you or someone you know is involved in an auto accident, it is important that you hire an attorney to advocate on your behalf.  Ms. Elizabeth C. Ryan has a proven track of record of successfully recovering settlements and jury awards on behalf of her clients.

When an individual is involved in an automobile accident it can result in both emotional and physical harm. Often times, insurance companies will attempt to resolve a claim by offering a small sum of money to victims of automobile accidents. That is why it is important to hire an attorney who will not only thoroughly investigate your case, but who also have the knowledge, experience and training necessary to aggressively represent you.

The circumstances surrounding the accident and the manner in which you respond to accident can substantially affect the outcome of your case.  When you are involved in automobile accident, it is important you take the following steps:

  1. Contact the police immediately.  A police officer will arrive at the scene and generate a police report.
  2. Gather contact information of all individuals who witnessed the accident.
  3. Go to the emergency room or if you are unable to drive, call an ambulance immediately. The doctor will examine you and provide an appropriate course of treatment.
  4. Take pictures of your injuries.
  5. Return to the scene of the accident and take pictures.
  6. Do not speak to any insurance company representatives or sign any documents.
