What to Do After a Car Accident: Detailed Steps

Knowing what to do in the moments after a crash can protect your health, your rights, and your ability to recover compensation. Here’s a practical breakdown of the steps to follow—and where to find more in-depth info if you need it:
1

Get Medical Attention

Always get checked out, even if you feel fine. Adrenaline can mask serious injuries, and having medical records is crucial to any claim.
2

Call the Police and Get an Accident Report

A police report documents the scene, identifies the parties involved, and can help determine fault. This will be one of the key documents needed later in your case.
3

Gather Evidence at the Scene

4

Secure Dash Cam Footage

5

Collect and Organize Important Documents

In the days following your accident, start compiling all relevant documents: police reports, medical records, repair estimates, insurance communications, and anything else related to your crash and injuries.
6

Notify Your Insurance Company

Report the accident to your insurer, but stick to the facts. Avoid speculating or admitting fault. If you’re unsure what to say, a car accident attorney from KFB Law can help guide you.

Fallout of Drunk Driving Accidents

Drunk driving remains a pervasive problem on Florida’s roads, leading to devastating consequences for victims and their families. The fallout from these accidents extends far beyond the initial crash, affecting physical health, emotional well-being, and financial stability. Understanding the full impact of drunk driving accidents underscores the importance of holding perpetrators accountable and supporting victims through legal action.
1

Physical Injuries

Drunk driving accidents often result in severe injuries due to the impaired driver’s reduced reaction times and impaired judgment. Common injuries include:
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): These can lead to long-term cognitive impairment, physical disabilities, and emotional changes.
Spinal Cord Injuries: Victims may suffer partial or complete paralysis, significantly altering their quality of life.
Broken Bones and Fractures: These injuries can require extensive surgery and rehabilitation.
Internal Injuries: Damage to internal organs can be life-threatening and necessitate emergency medical intervention.
2

Emotional and Psychological Impact

The trauma of a drunk driving accident can leave deep emotional scars. Victims may experience:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Flashbacks, nightmares, and severe anxiety can persist long after the accident.
Depression and Anxiety: The sudden life changes and physical pain can lead to ongoing mental health challenges.
Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Many victims find it difficult to return to their previous activities and hobbies, leading to a diminished quality of life.
3

Financial Consequences

The financial fallout from a drunk driving accident can be overwhelming, including:
Medical Expenses: Immediate emergency care, surgeries, ongoing treatment, and rehabilitation can result in staggering medical bills.
Lost Wages: Victims may be unable to work during their recovery period or may be permanently unable to return to their previous employment.
Property Damage: Repairing or replacing a vehicle and other damaged property adds to the financial strain.
Long-Term Care Costs: Some injuries require long-term care, modifications to living spaces, and specialized equipment, further increasing expenses.
4

Legal and Criminal Consequences for Drunk Drivers

Drunk drivers face serious legal repercussions, including:
Criminal Charges: DUI charges can lead to fines, license suspension, and imprisonment.
Civil Lawsuits: Victims can pursue civil claims for compensation, holding the drunk driver financially responsible for their actions.
Increased Insurance Premiums: Convicted drunk drivers often face significantly higher insurance premiums, or may be dropped by their insurance provider altogether.

Tampa Drunk Driving Accident Lawyers – Justice For DUI Accident Victims.

Our office of personal injury lawyers and paralegals follow a set of important guidelines when representing victims of drunk drivers. We will pursue all insurance claims, as well as investigate the drunk driver in order to pursue all reasonable means of compensation for damages. In the event punitive damages are legally allowed, meaning damages against the defendant intended to punish that person for their conduct, our personal injury lawyer will pursue all reasonable means of obtaining payment on behalf of our clients.

Additionally, we communicate with prosecuting authorities to obtain evidence and support clients through victim assistance programs. Our experience in criminal defense law is a valuable asset in personal injury cases involving DUI accidents. In some cases, other defendants, such as bars or restaurants, may be liable for overserving alcohol to the driver.

Comprehensive Legal Representation and Investigation

Our approach involves:
Thorough Investigation: We gather all necessary evidence, including police reports, witness statements, and medical records. We also consult with experts to reconstruct the accident and assess the full impact of the injuries.
Pursuit of All Legal Avenues: We investigate all potential sources of liability, including third parties who may have contributed to the accident by serving alcohol to the driver.
Collaborating with Prosecutors: We work closely with criminal prosecutors to strengthen the case against the drunk driver, ensuring all evidence is utilized effectively.
Seeking Maximum Compensation: Our goal is to secure full and fair compensation for all damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages where applicable.

    Legal Hurdle: Injured by an Uninsured Motorist

    Our client was driving through an intersection when another driver ran a red light and crashed into their vehicle. The impact caused serious whiplash and a lower back injury, leading to ongoing pain and the need for medical treatment and therapy. To make matters worse, the at-fault driver had no insurance, which created a major roadblock for receiving compensation. Despite having their own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy, our client quickly realized that the minimum $10,000 limit wouldn’t be enough to cover all expenses. They came to us unsure of their rights or how to recover damages when the other driver had no coverage.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
Nearly 2. 5 years ago I was rear ended by a commercial truck causing injuries that would effect me a life time. With the help of Mr. Manny Fernandez and his staff they made this process easier than I could’ve imagined. They were by my side the entire time and kept me up to date with the latest development. He himself would call to check on me periodically, especially after both back surgeries. The KF&B group always had my best interest at heart. Once again many thanks to Manny Fernandez and staff at the KF&B group.

I had two car accidents from within 2017 and 2018. The first one is where I got hit by a tow truck. He got in my lane and hit me. Then the second accident was where a drunk driver hit me in the rear end. I cannot work anymore because of this. I have tried to work and make money to live on. I called the law office and they took my case right away. I just want to say that I am so happy with the results. I am now able to have some peace of mind. They helped with the medical portion as well as I am still in the recovery process. Thank you so much for helping me with my two car accidents. The very best I would say and so much more

Marcus Fernandez was amazing. I have been in two car accidents that were not my fault. He handled both accidents with respect, and strength. Mr. Fernandez did an outstanding job with ensuring that I was aware of every move, every response from the other insurance carrier, what our next steps were going to be, including doing the full mediation to settle out of court for me!! I appreciate all his help!! I highly recommend Kinney, Fernandez, and Boire!!!! This law firm is a great group of individuals who care about their clients and are determined to get results!!!!
