FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should I do after a car accident?

After a car accident, it is normal to feel scared or overwhelmed. Above all, it is important that you stay as calm as possible, and stay safe. Remember, you should not try to move your car unless it is blocking traffic. Before exiting your car, make sure to look out for traffic and call the police. If you can, it is helpful to use your phone to take pictures of the accident scene. If there are witnesses, see if you can write down their contact information. If you have been injured, it is important to be treated by the first responders that arrive on the scene.

Remember, that oftentimes symptoms of injuries can be delayed, which is why it is still important to be checked out. If you believe you need medical attention, go to the hospital as soon as possible and carefully follow your doctor’s treatment plan. You should also contact an experienced Kansas City car accident attorney for advice, especially if you have been injured.

Do I need to file a police report after a car accident?

If you are in an accident in Missouri, and property damage or injuries are worth $500 or more, you are required by law to report the accident to the police.

How do authorities determine fault after a car accident?

Fault refers to who was responsible for causing the car accident.  In a police report, officers will often list who was at fault in an accident. For example, in cases where a car is rear-ended, it is typically the other driver’s fault. However, it is important to keep in mind that the conclusion from the police is not always final as an investigation may prove otherwise.

What will my insurance cover in a car accident?

In Missouri, the at-fault driver is required to pay for the medical expenses of those injured.

However, what your insurance company will cover varies depending on fault, level of coverage and your insurance company’s tactics.

After a car accident, when should I file a report with the police?

If you are in a car accident, you should file a police report immediately after an accident, ideally at the scene of the accident. Police reports are important as they provide a thorough documentation of the accident. This report is crucial as it can help strengthen your case if you seek monetary damages from an accident. The police report will include the contact information of the drivers, insurance company information as well as an overview of the car accident.

After a car accident, how long will a car accident case take?

Each case is unique, and the timelines for a car accident case may vary. After a thorough investigation, your attorney may come to an agreement and reach a settlement. However, if an agreement cannot be reached, your case will go to trial. Each step in the process is important, and an experienced Kansas City car accident attorney will help ensure you receive the compensation you deserve to move forward.

After a car accident, how long do I have to file a claim?

In Missouri, the statute of limitations for a personal injury or property damage car accident claim is five years. If you have been seriously injured, it is crucial to contact a skilled car accident attorney for a consultation as soon as possible. An attorney will work to help you through every step of your case to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve for your medical bills, pain and suffering and lost wages.
