Steps to Take After a Car Crash
Knowing what to do can help protect your health and improve your chances of fair compensation.
A car crash can disrupt your health, work, and peace of mind, not just your car. Too often, insurance companies downplay injuries or push quick settlements. At Chaffin Luhana, we listen to your story, explain your rights, and fight to recover what you’ve lost legally, financially, and emotionally.
STEP 1. Get Medical Care
See a doctor right away—even if you feel fine. Some injuries may take hours or days to appear, and having medical records can protect your health and support your claim.
STEP 2. Notify Your Insurance Company
Seek immediate medical care and ongoing care as needed.
STEP 3. Call a Car Crash Lawyer
The sooner you contact a lawyer, the better. We’ll handle the insurance companies and protect your rights—at no cost unless we win on your behalf.
STEP 4. Don't Post on Social Media About the Crash
We’ve all played the game of telephone, and we know how easily the message can get lost. The same goes for your story. Posting just a few pictures or short updates can paint an incomplete picture of what you’ve endured and what you truly deserve.
STEP 5. Don’t Settle Too Soon
Insurance companies often push for quick, low payouts. Always check with your lawyer before accepting any settlement.

Car Crash FAQs
1. When Should I Hire a Car Crash Lawyer?
You should contact a lawyer as soon as possible after an accident, especially if you were injured. The sooner you have representation, the better your chances of protecting evidence, avoiding costly mistakes, and maximizing your claim.
2. Who Pays for My Medical Bills After a Car Crash?
In many cases, your own insurance policy will cover initial medical expenses, regardless of fault. This may include benefits like personal injury protection (PIP) or MedPay. If another driver was responsible, their insurance may ultimately be held liable. An attorney can help ensure the right party pays and that you aren’t left with uncovered bills.
3. Should I Talk to the Other Driver’s Insurance Company After a Crash?
No. It’s best not to give details about your injuries, treatment, or how the accident happened. Insurance adjusters may use your statements against you to reduce your claim. Once you hire a lawyer, they will handle all communication so you can focus on your recovery.
4. How Long Does It Take to Settle a Car Crash Claim?
The timeline varies. Some cases settle in a few months, while others, especially those involving serious injuries, may take longer. Starting your case early often speeds up the process. Your lawyer will work to resolve your claim as quickly as possible while protecting your right to full compensation.
5. How Much Compensation Will I Get for My Car Crash Case?
The amount depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and how the accident has impacted your life. Every case is different. A car crash lawyer can gather the necessary evidence to pursue the maximum compensation available to you.
