Steps to Take After a Car Accident

Knowing what to do can help protect your health and improve your chances of fair compensation.  

A car accident 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

    Report the crash, but keep it brief. Share only the basic facts (who, where, when) until you have spoken with a lawyer.

  • Step 3. Call a Car Accident 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. Stay Quiet About the Crash

    Don’t discuss the crash with anyone

  • Step 5. Don’t Settle Too Soon

    Insurance companies often push for quick, low payouts. Always check with your lawyer before accepting any settlement.

Common Questions for a Connecticut Car Accident Attorney

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. Many firms, including ours, offer free case evaluations so you can get answers right away.

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. A West Virginia car accident attorney can help ensure the right party pays and that you are compensated fairly for the immediate and future costs you will incur.

Yes. While Limited Tort can restrict your ability to pursue pain and suffering damages, there are exceptions under Connecticut law. Many accident victims still qualify to recover beyond their insurance limits. A Chaffin Luhana lawyer experienced with West Virgina Limited Tort cases can review your situation and explain your options.

No. It is best not to share 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 Connecticut car accident lawyer, they will handle all communication so you can focus on your recovery.

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 Connecticut car accident lawyer will work to resolve your claim as quickly as possible while protecting your right to fair compensation.

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 Connecticut car accident lawyer can gather the necessary evidence and pursue the maximum compensation available to you.
