With any kind of car accident, it is important to document as much information as soon as you can. Often this involves photos of the damage to all vehicles involved, writing down what took place, full names and contact information of anyone who witnessed the accident and insurance information (insurance company name and policy number) of all the drivers involved in the accident.
After the accident it is important to note any injuries that you are experiencing and see a doctor as soon as possible. This step is important for both documentation and to prevent serious injuries from going unnoticed and untreated. Also, remember to keep track of any missed hours you might have lost from work. You may be entitled to compensation for lost work.
Drunk Driving Accidents
Any driver who has a blood-alcohol level above 0.08% is considered impaired by the law and actively breaking the law. Even if a driver’s blood-alcohol level is lower than 0.08%, they can be deemed “impaired to the slightest degree.” An impaired person’s decision-making capabilities and reaction time is greatly diminished, sometimes resulting in an accident. If you have been hit by a drunk driver or someone who is intoxicated either by prescription medications, drugs, or alcohol they are liable for your medical bills, injury and pain, damage to your vehicle, and lost time at work. If the intoxicated driver is convicted of a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) you may have a substantial case.
