The consequences of a car accident almost always extend beyond a person's initial injuries and trauma.

Fatal Car Accident? If you lost a loved one in a fatal accident, our attorneys are available to discuss the legal options your family has, including filing a wrongful death claim or survivor's action.
Providing one-on-one legal representation, we take steps to ensure your medical and employment benefits are promptly provided after a car accident, while protecting your interests in all interactions between you and the insurance company. Our goal is to use auto insurance claims, negotiation and formal lawsuits to help you recover financially from a car crash or drunk driving accident — even if you are hit by an uninsured motorist. We work diligently on behalf of car accident victims, fighting to hold at-fault drivers, bars and restaurants (dram shop liability) and other responsible parties liable for the injuries they cause.

Building Your Case — Steps You Can Take Now
Insurance companies want to avoid paying more money than they have to when an auto insurance claim is made. That's why it is important to preserve evidence and document everything related to your accident. Take the following steps now to help your case later on:
- Take photos of your injuries
- Keep a diary of how you feel
- Save all prescription bottles related to your injuries
- If possible, collect any debris from the scene of your accident
- If trees or other obstructions played a role in your accident, take video footage or photos of the obstructions
- If you were hurt in a drunk driving accident and you know where the driver was drinking, write down any details you know about the establishment that served the alcohol
- Keep a copy of all doctor's notes, diagrams, or diagnostic results pertaining to your medical treatment
- Keep track of missed days from work and any lost wages that result
- If injured in an SUV rollover, take photos of any evidence of roof crush or failed support columns
When an Insurance Representative Wants to Talk to You
It is not uncommon for insurance claims adjusters to try to settle a case as soon as possible after a car accident. Since the full effects of soft tissue injuries, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, broken bones and other types of injuries take weeks or even months to appear, settling a car accident claim early may save an insurer a substantial amount of money. If you agree to talk to a claims adjuster, if you provide a written or recorded statement, or if you sign a settlement offer, you may compromise your case or waive your right to pursue legal action later. Before you agree to talk to a claims adjuster, call our personal injury attorneys first.
Covering Your Costs — Today and Tomorrow
Regardless of whether you have a herniated disc, spinal cord injury or concussion, the medical consequences of a car accident can be significant and devastating if you fail to recover damages proportional to the financial impact of your injuries on your work and personal life. Snyder & Wiles, PC, has the investigative and legal tools necessary to pursue the maximum compensation available to you under the law.
