Auto Accident

You have been in a car accident. Now what?

Accidents happen…on U.S. Highway 90, on I-75 and I-10, and on the many city streets and rural roads that crisscross North Central Florida. The car accidents law firm in Lake City of Robinson, Kennon & Kendron, P.A. asks: Do you know what to do if you or a family member is involved in a car accident? Before you even leave your driveway, there are a few things you should make sure you have readily available:

• A cell phone or some other mobile communications device
• A camera, if your cell phone does not have one
• Paper and pen or pencil
• Your driver’s license, vehicle registration and insurance I.D. Card
• Information on any medical conditions, medications and pharmaceutical allergies for you and your family members, as well as the name and contact information for your physician(s)

In case of injury, get immediate medical help. If possible, take pictures of the accident scene and get the names, driver’s license and insurance information from the driver of all vehicles involved. Present your driver’s license, registration and insurance card to the police.

What your attorney will do for you

Your Lake City personal injury attorney is your advocate who negotiates with the insurance company to ensure that you receive full and fair compensation for:

• Current and estimated future medical expenses, including surgery, physician and hospital fees, lab fees, prescription drugs, physical therapy, psychiatric care, psychological counseling, X-rays/MRIs, dentistry/oral surgery, prostheses, nursing care, nursing home/long-term care facilities, transportation costs and other necessary medical needs
