What should you do if you've been in a vehicle accident involving a car or a truck?

If you've just had an accident, you are one of more than 130,000 Virginians who will be involved in a car crash this year. But, your experience is unique because it is about you and your family.

Most accidents are caused by driver error, bad judgment, distraction or impairment.  This means someone was negligent, and now you are living with the consequences of their negligence. That can be a hard fact to live with.

A car accident immediately affects you and your family in many ways.  First of all there are injuries. This means hospital visits and doctor appointments and the resulting medical bills. Sometimes injuries such as brain trauma, back injuries, and paralysis can become permanent disabilities. This can affect your income and involve on-going therapy as well as major lifestyle changes. If someone has been killed, there are funeral arrangements and burial expenses. 

What should you do if you've been in a car accident?

After the accident, you will need to let the insurance company know that the accident has occurred. Now, not only are you dealing with injury pain and grief, but you also have to deal with insurance companies, and settlement offers. How do you know that your insurance settlement is fair and that all your expenses will be covered?  Do you know how to get fair compensation for your pain and suffering?  Can you recover your lost income? Where do you go for help?

This is where an attorney like Norfolk's Lawrence Land can help.  Lawrence isn't just any lawyer.
