What should I do immediately following an accident, to ensure that my rights are protected?
If you are injured in an accident, your first priority should be your health. Seek medical attention immediately. Make sure you give doctors an accurate history of your accident. Keep records or photographs of anything you think may be valuable substantiation of your case details. It is important that you seek legal counsel as soon as possible, to ensure that your rights are protected.
If I am injured, should I cooperate with insurance company representatives or investigators that contact me regarding the accident?
Insurance company representatives or investigators work for the insurance company, not for you. They often work tirelessly to persuade injured people to cooperate with their investigation. It is very important that you have an attorney on your side, to conduct an investigation of the facts, rather than leaving this work up to the insurance companies. If you are contacted by an insurance company representative, refer them to Kevin M. O’Brien & Associates, so that we can take charge of the investigation. Most importantly, DO NOT give a recorded statement to an insurance adjustor or investigator.
