What to Do If You’re Involved in a Car Accident – At the Scene of an Accident

Henderson car accident attorney lawyer Layra Payne, Esq recommends to always call the police and if possible, wait for them to arrive – it is very important to have a police report for a car wreck, if possible!

However, the police in Nevada often are unable to respond to car accidents.

Therefore, you may need to gather some of the critical information that an officer of the law would gather including:

• Exchange name, phone and address
• Obtain the insurance information of the other driver
• Photograph the other driver’s license
• Photograph the other driver’s license plate
• Take a photo of the other driver
• Take photographs of the vehicles especially documenting the location where the vehicles came to rest following the accident

Always remain calm and courteous as your words and actions may be relived in Court, and seek medical attention quickly.

Attorney Laura Payne, Esq Stays On Top of the Insurance Claims Process

Injured car accident victims in desperate circumstances should not rely on verbal statements by insurance companies. The insurance company is not on your side. If the insurance company promises to pay medical expenses, they may later attempt to pay only what they deem reasonable and not your actual bill.

Victims also need rental cars and prompt service. Often, the insurance company simply ignores your claim. Fortunately, Nevada is a state that adheres to the Unfair Practices in Settling Claims Act found at NRS 686A.130. This law prohibits delays in paying claims and unreasonable conduct by insurance companies.

However, without legal counsel, this law is often violated.

In summary, insurance companies are required:

• Not to force unnecessary litigation or appeals
• Not to misrepresent facts
• Not to use of repetitive forms, to settle claims fairly and timely
• Pay claims promptly
• To act promptly, investigate, determine fault

Unfortunately, this law is repeatedly violated by insurance companies. Retain experienced henderson car accident lawyers to protect your rights; see:

The consequences of drinking and driving are arrests, property damage, injuries, and thousands of deaths each year. An estimated 4 million U.S. adults reported driving under the influence of alcohol at least once in 2010.

In 2010, alcohol was involved in 2,020 (or 47.2 percent) of pedestrian fatalities, 11,087 (or 39.9 percent) of vehicle occupant fatalities, 209 (or 33.8 percent) of pedal cyclist fatalities (as shown in Figure 2). Pedestrians are more vulnerable than highway vehicle occupants; see:
