What Should You Do After a Car Accident in Stamford?

Following a car accident, it’s crucial to take steps that protect your health and your legal rights:

Seek Medical Attention

Even if you feel fine right after the accident, it’s important to get a medical evaluation to ensure no hidden injuries, like whiplash or concussions, have occurred. Prompt treatment is essential for your recovery and for building a strong legal case.

Avoid Speaking to Insurance Adjusters

Insurance adjusters may try to minimize your claim or make you settle for less than you deserve. Consult with our Stamford car accident lawyers before engaging with any insurance companies.

Don’t Settle Too Quickly

Insurance companies may offer quick settlements to resolve the matter quickly, but these offers rarely cover the full extent of your damages. Always consult with a lawyer before accepting any settlement offer.

Document the Accident

Capture photos of the scene, your injuries, and vehicle damage. Maintain records of medical visits, expenses, and any related costs to support your claim.

Car Accident FAQs

How much is my car accident case worth?

The value of your case depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and pain and suffering. Our team at Goff Law Group can review your situation and provide a clear estimate.

How do you prove liability?

Liability is proven by showing that another driver acted negligently and caused the accident. Evidence may include police reports, witness statements, photos of the scene, traffic camera footage, and expert analysis.

Can I speak to the other driver’s insurance company?

It’s best to avoid direct communication. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, and anything you say could be used against you. Our attorneys can handle all communications on your behalf.

What if I was partially at fault?

Connecticut follows comparative negligence rules, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you share some fault. Your award will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility, as long as it doesn’t exceed 50%.

How long does it take to settle a car accident claim?

Settlement timelines vary based on case complexity, injury severity, and insurance negotiations. Some cases resolve in a few months, while others may take a year or more. Our team works efficiently to pursue fair compensation as quickly as possible.
