Being a safe
driver is no longer enough. Aggressive
drivers put us at risk. Dangerous
and defective autos are on the
roads. State and federal agencies
are cutting roadway maintenance.
Driving while under the influence
of alcohol or drugs is common.
Today, no matter how cautious
we are, there are many situations
that put us at
risk for accidents that
lead to injuries or death.
If
You’re In a Car Accident
The simplest car accidents require as many steps to
be taken by an injury victim as the person responsible
for it. If you or your family has been injured on the
road or highway, your
choice of an attorney will be one of the most important
decisions you make.
While on the scene
of a road accident:
- Call 911 for help.
- Take photos of the
vehicles involved and
the scene of the accident.
- Gather the names and
contact information of
witnesses.
- Identify the driver
of the other vehicle
and gather insurance
information.
- Speak with your lawyer
before you talk with
an insurance company.
- Seek medical attention
and follow-up with medical
care as needed.

In
auto accident cases, it’s
essential that measures
be taken promptly to preserve
evidence, investigate the
accident, and enable witnesses
to come forward.

Making an Accident Claim
To make a successful car accident claim, we must prove
that another party was responsible for your accident
and establish the amount of damages for which the
other party is liable.
If the accident damaged your vehicle,
a body shop can prepare a written
quote detailing the necessary repairs.
If you were injured, we will evaluate
the amount of financial compensation
that may be claimed. In addition
to healthcare costs, the parties
liable for causing the accident
may have to compensate you for
pain and suffering, lost wages,
permanent disabilities, loss of
enjoyment, and other associated
expenses.
If you
have been hurt in a car accident
and have other questions, contact

Testimonial
"I was
missing work after being injured
in an auto accident. I had heard
the stories of insurance companies’
teams of attorneys fighting
for them and I knew I needed
an experienced attorney fighting
for me. I picked Spencer Farris
because of his experience. I’m
thankful it’s all over now and
that I picked the right lawyer." –
