What Should I do After a Car Accident?
You can’t control what careless motorists do, but you can take control of your life after a crash. The road to recovery starts by contacting a car accident attorney who will protect your rights, seek the compensation you deserve and ultimately help to lift your burdens.
What should you do if you’re injured in Illinois and Wisconsin?
The steps that you take immediately after suffering an injury can have an impact on future legal action. As stressful as it can be to be in an accident, it’s important to try to keep in mind the following steps to not just look after yourself but to ensure that you can recover fair compensation.
1. Seek Medical Attention
It is critical to seek medical care if you were in an accident. If you think you feel ok, don’t risk it. The fact is that some injuries can take hours or days to become apparent. Get medical care as soon as possible so a medical professional can diagnose and begin treating your injuries.
2. Report Your Accident
If you were injured at a store, notify the store’s management. If you were hurt in a car accident, notify law enforcement. The more information about the accident that is documented in official reports the better your chances are at a successful settlement.
3. Keep Track of Your Injuries and Losses
Keep any evidence of your injuries and losses to help establish the value of your damages. Documents or evidence to keep include:
-
Medical bills
-
Property damage receipts
-
Invoices from your out-of-pocket expenses
-
Correspondence between yourself and the insurer
-
Photographs of the scene, the vehicles and your injuries

Do not let the insurance company off the hook for your loss. You can recover the diminished value of your vehicle after an auto accident.
​
Diminished value is the loss in market value that occurs when a vehicle is wrecked and then repaired. A reasonable consumer will not pay the same price for a repaired vehicles as they will for a vehicle with no accident history. Even if the repairs were done well, the vehicle will still lose value. You can recover for this lost value.
​
We can help you make your claim and recover all of your damages including the diminished value of a “repaired” vehicle. Call us at (815) 678-4553 or fill out the form above to schedule a free consultation with one of our experienced car accident attorneys.
