If someone is in a situation where he or she or their family member has been in an accident and is in a serious condition in the hospital or has passed away, then it is a difficult time for the entire family. However, apart from the distress and the trauma, such unexpected situations can put families and individuals in serious medical and economical trouble if they are not insured for such situations.

• Give the automobile accident attorney all the information available, such as when, where, and how the accident occurred. You also need to carefully remember to tell the attorney who was at fault, and if the case was a hit and run, then mention whether anyone observed the vehicle number. Was it a head-on collision and from which side exactly was it? Was it a wrong turn made by either side or was someone in the wrong lane or having broken some traffic rule? All these are small but very important pieces of information for the attorneys to get you the money you deserve as accidental coverage.
• If the victim is severely injured, then they need to have someone speak for them for them to be able to try and pass on as much information and as accurate information as possible in whatever way. If they have information on how they landed up in the hospital, then all the better as it benefits in accident cases.
• Try and ask the person to recollect their memories as much as possible and as clearly as possible before they talk to the automobile accident attorney. Sometimes, information gets muddled up and it could be detrimental to the injured person’s case. Try and get them to clearly recollect the place of the accident, the way it happened, and whether there were any witnesses. If witnesses are there, it makes the case even more solid. Also, one needs to ask questions like whether the injured person saw any warning signboards or any gutters or potholes around the time and place of the accident.
• If the injured person has taken any insurance policy, make sure that they give the information of that to the auto accident attorney. If they are not the owner of the insurance policy and the car, then the responsible person for the same needs to be brought in. If the vehicle belongs to the victim, one needs to ask them if the vehicle was insured and whether it was a brand-new car. All these details need to be given the automobile accident attorneys.
• Last, but not least, have the attorney check the injured person’s body for scars and injuries, and whether the injuries are only external or both internet and external.
