Sevierville Car Accident Lawyer

Most Americans make a car trip at least daily. People commute to work, drive to social events, hop in the car to get groceries, and get behind the wheel to take their kids to sporting events. More technologies have been introduced to make driving safe such as seatbelts and anti-lock brakes, but accidents causing injuries still occur. According to the Safety Insurance Company, at least 77 percent of all traffic incidents are due to driver error.  If you have been involved in a traffic accident with a driver who should be held liable, you have the ability to pursue a claim with their insurance company. At Fox, Farley, Willis & Burnette, our Sevierville car accident lawyers help automobile accident victims get the compensation they deserve for their pain and suffering. We have over 30 years of experience dealing with Sevierville car accident cases and are dedicated to helping each client we work with. 

What Steps to Take Post-Crash 

What a person does immediately after a crash care has an impact on their ability to receive compensation from insurance companies later. If you have been in a car collision, remember to do the following:

  • Contact the police and/or emergency responders. They can file an official collision report to document the scene. Most likely they will take witness statements and write down bystanders’ contact information. If not, be sure to gather information from others who were nearby. In addition, be sure to ask for the other driver’s insurance information.
  • Make sure to seek medical assistance for any potential injuries. Even if you have just been deeply bruised it is worth being seen by a medical professional to be sure you have not sustained more serious internal injuries. Getting medical care will also serve as documentation of injuries, which can later be provided to insurance companies when seeking compensation.

Once you have taken care of these steps you can reach out to a lawyer who can advise you and represent you when submitting a claim to the liable party’s insurance company. 

The Cost of a Crash

Vehicle collisions can cause an array of damages, including:

  • Physical injuries – According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2012 over 2.5 million Americans visited the emergency department of a hospital after a car crash. Injuries include whiplash, lacerations, broken bones, and even more severe permanent disabilities.
  • Property Damage – When two or more cars collide it is likely that at least one will sustain visible damage. An insurance claim includes an estimate for repair costs to any damaged property such as the vehicle or items inside the vehicle.
