Many car accidents are caused by the negligence or reckless driving of others. Unfortunately, over 30,000 people each year suffer a wrongful death from car accidents that were not their fault. Even if the accident does not result in death, you may suffer serious injuries that impact your ability to work and take care of your family.
It is crucial to contact the skilled lawyers at TopDog Law immediately after the accident and prior to speaking with the insurance company. We have proven procedures in place to conduct a free insurance review, a comprehensive investigation of the accident, and maximize your compensation or settlement.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
First and foremost, you are always compensated for your injury in nearly every state. The first source of compensation is your insurance company. In many states, every driver is required to have insurance. This is what is called a “no fault state” for car insurance coverage meaning that you are compensated by the insurance company whether or not you or the other driver caused the crash.
Usually, your insurance company will cover up to $15,000 worth of damages.

This is the most common cause of car accidents. Examples of driver error include speeding, driving under the influence, following too closely, failing to yield to the right of way and disregard of traffic control devices.
The second most common reason why the other driver may be at fault, and you are entitled to additional compensation from a car accident, is because he or she rear-ended your vehicle. Rear-end collisions occur when the front-end of a car crashes into the back-end of another vehicle. Frequently, rear end collisions are caused by intoxication or cell phone use. On Interstate 76 and Interstate 95 in particular, rear-end collisions are far too common resulting in serious injuries or death. Even if you believe your symptoms are less serious, it is best to seek medical treatment immediately after the accident.
In 2015, 391,000 injuries were caused by distracted driving related accidents. Driver distraction is the cause of 58% of accidents involving teens. While the biggest problem is texting, other distractions include: GPS, music, makeup, reading, and many more.
It is easy to dismiss a car accident as a fender-bender. Particularly when a car is traveling at a slow rate of speed, many mistakenly assume he or she will walk away from the accident with no injuries. Far too often, however, symptoms like whiplash present themselves days after the accident. While whiplash may seem insignificant at first, it can cause permanent neck injuries that impact you for the rest of your life.
More serious injuries that often occur following a car accident are brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. A Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) occurs following a car accident far more frequently than most people realize. The same is true for a spinal cord injury (SCI). Importantly, the symptoms of these more serious injuries may take weeks to set in following a car accident.

The best way to ensure that you receive the maximum settlement in your case is to follow the procedures outlined below.
Most states require drivers to call the police when a car accident causes injuries or damages over a certain amount. A trained law enforcement officer will provide help if you've experienced injuries or damages by accurately recording what happened in their police report, getting you medical or roadside assistance if you have not already, and ensuring the other driver cooperates if they are at fault.
One problem we’ve encountered is missing information in the accident report taken by police. For that reason, we urge you to write down the following:
Due to the sudden impact of a car accident, it is important to be cautious. Injuries like whiplash can take days to manifest. Thus, you may feel ok immediately after the accident only for symptoms to arise in the days following. Other, more serious injuries, like brain injuries (TBI) or spinal cord injuries may take even longer for you to notice. Therefore, we strongly advise scheduling an appointment with your doctor even if you do not feel that it is necessary. Often, the longer you wait to get medical care, the more difficult it is for us to get you maximum compensation.
The most important piece of advice is to never talk to the other driver’s insurance company until you have consulted a lawyer. Insurance companies manipulate. They intentionally utilize strategies to force you to admit fault. This will hinder your ability to collect maximum compensation from them.
