Here are ten useful tips of advice from a bicycle accident lawyer to follow if you have been in an accident. You can also learn more about how to handle a bicycle accident in Santa Maria, or any city, by calling the Law Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the numbers which can be found on our website at http://www. SebastianGibsonLaw. com  and learning how we can help you.

 

Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it’s probably been at least a few days since the accident. But, if it’s only been a few hours or if you ever have another accident, here’s what you should do the next time from the start.

 

First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most vital thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just excellent manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get mad or start a fight.

 

Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, place them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and go them more safely at a later point.

 

Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didn’t know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.

 

Fourth, get the other driver’s information including their names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.

 

Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you aren’t too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you can’t do it straight away, do it after you are released from the hospital.

Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Don’t decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, don’t get treatment you don’t need. But, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plot that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.

 

Seventh, call a excellent bicycle accident lawyer as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the attorney can gather other vital evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A excellent bicycle accident lawyer can save you from making a fantastic deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you reckon you will save money by not having an attorney, reckon again. A excellent bicycle accident lawyer can nearly always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most bicycle accident attorneys advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.

 

Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver’s insurance company, it’s excellent advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.

 

Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This nearly never works out to your advantage. Don’t agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his tale and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.

 

Tenth, don’t pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you weren’t at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.

There’s an ancient saying that, “You can’t have too much of a excellent thing”. Well, that rather depends on the thing. For children, this is free-flow ice cream. Yet, no matter how enjoyable something is once in a while, the thought of eating it all the time is enough to produce vomiting — those of you with children will have experienced projectile vomiting after they have ignored your advice and eaten too much ice cream. The reality is your enjoyment of something is greater when you have the chance to anticipate a pleasurable experience. The other saying at work here is that, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder”. You appreciate something more when you do not have it. The numbers are just in for the number of prescription written by US doctors in 2009. This gives us the chance to worry about how many pills we are popping and whether we are popping them for the right reasons. And, guess what! We have more or less the same result as 2008. The inconvenient evidence continues to flow in. We are popping too many drugs to control anxiety and depression. If you look at the banner on this site — last year, doctors wrote 44 million prescriptions for it. When you add up all the pills represented by these prescriptions, that’s more than enough pills to give several to every person in the US (both legal and illegal). Now take a moment to absorb the implications of this number. Let’s ignore the fact this is 17 million more prescriptions than the next most well loved anti-anxiety drug. If you were to add in all the other millions of prescriptions written for anti-anxiety drugs, every household in the US would have a bathroom cabinet full of pills. But the chilling thought is the number of people who now buy their drugs online without a prescription. Being realistic, online pharmacies sell drugs more cheaply than you can ever buy in your neighborhood pharmacy and everyone with an overstressed household budget now looks to save money wherever possible. Once you add the guess to the actual numbers, the flow of drugs into US households is remarkably high. It’s impossible to imagine we can all be so nervous or sad. The only explanation for this excess is we have been conned by Huge Pharma. In 2009, the pharmaceutical industry is reported to have spent $4. 5 billion on advertising its drugs. That’s more than the budget of several European countries (not counting Greece). Wherever you look, you see the brand name xanax. It becomes impossible not to identify the brand as for the treatment of anxiety. Unfortunately, it’s a excellent product. It really does control anxiety. So word-of-mouth pushes the demand for xanax ever higher. The result is clear. The population of the US is overmedicated. Even though xanax should only be prescribed for the small-term treatment of serious anxiety disorders, we take it routinely for a range of different conditions. This is a time when too much is too much, and it really is something we should all be worried about. We are rapidly becoming a county dependent on drugs to keep us going. If politicians try unsuccessfully to convince us that we are too dependent on oil imports, imagine what would happen if they tried to tell us not to take as much medication. There really would be a riot (just like Greece).
