Car & Automobile Accident Attorneys in Cleveland

Our Cleveland auto accident lawyers help protect your rights after an accident

The time immediately after an accident is critical in a number of ways:

• Every minute counts when dealing with serious injuries.
• Any evidence collected can be valuable when pursuing compensation for damages and injuries.
• Discussions must be carefully handled to protect your rights.

Retaining an experienced automobile accident attorney from Nager, Romaine & Schneiberg Co., L.P.A. (NRS) in Cleveland helps protect your rights and your case.  But before you contact us, you need to know how to handle the post-accident situation.

First steps after an automobile accident

All licensed drivers should know what to do after a Cleveland car accident.  The following steps can make a major difference in the future success of your case:

• First, call for help.  Particularly if anyone at the scene has been injured, you need to obtain medical attention and you may need other emergency assistance.  You also need to obtain a police report.  A single call to 911 gets all the help you need.
• Gather evidence.  If you or a passenger in your car is physically able to remain on the scene, photographing the damage to all cars (with license plates), injuries, and the accident scene can provide valuable evidence for your Cleveland auto accident lawyer.  You also need to retain items damaged in the crash, obtain a copy of the police report, and save all medical records and receipts.
• Obtain contact information from everyone involved.  Try to look at licenses and insurance cards from all drivers.  Jot down contact information, license and policy numbers, and expiration dates from all documents.  Also make sure you know how to contact all witnesses.
• Avoid excessively discussing the auto accident.  There is no need to discuss what happened with anyone involved in the crash or witnesses.  While you should be reasonably helpful with police, you should try to avoid admitting fault or sharing unwarranted information with police.  Save frank discussions for your automobile accident lawyer in Cleveland.
• Contact an NRS attorney.  Whether an insurance claim is likely to provide the compensation you need for your expenses—or if you need to take more significant legal action—our Cleveland automobile accident attorneys can provide the advice and support you need.
