Accidents can strike in a moment, leaving victims disoriented, stressed, and uncertain about what to do next. Medical bills, vehicle damage, and insurance calls pile up quickly, making it hard to know where to start. The truth is that in legal matters, speed is a critical advantage. Acting quickly after an accident is often the difference between a successful claim and a compromised one.
Brad Emert, with over 30 years of courtroom experience in St. Louis, emphasizes that the best defense often begins with a fast offense. Brad’s decades of experience allow him to anticipate the moves of insurance companies, preserve essential evidence, and guide clients through the legal process while they focus on recovery. Time is not just money; it can determine the success of your case.
Why Acting Quickly Strengthens Your Case
Insurance companies have trained teams who respond immediately after an accident. They know that delays from victims can reduce the payout. Acting fast ensures:
- Evidence Preservation: Photos of the scene, skid marks, and vehicle damage can be lost if not documented promptly.
- Reliable Witness Statements: Witness memories fade over time. Prompt statements help secure a stronger case.
- Medical Documentation: Early treatment provides clear links between injuries and the accident.
- Preventing Lowball Offers: Quick legal intervention discourages insurance adjusters from undervaluing claims.
Brad Emert understands that quick, strategic action sets the stage for a solid legal defense and increases the likelihood of full compensation.
Steps to Take Immediately After an Accident
Even in stressful situations, a structured approach makes a difference:
- Ensure Safety and Seek Medical Care: Protect yourself and get medical attention. Even minor injuries should be documented.
- Contact Law Enforcement: File a police report to create an official record.
- Document the Scene: Take photos of vehicles, injuries, and the location. Note license plate numbers and gather witness information.
- Avoid Speaking Directly to Insurance Adjusters Alone: Insurance representatives may use statements against you. Brad handles all insurer communication professionally.
- Call an Experienced Attorney Quickly: Brad Emert provides guidance from the start, ensuring no missteps compromise your case.
Following these steps helps build a strong foundation for your claim.
