Decatur Car Accident FAQs
When should I reach out to a Decatur car accident lawyer?
The first thing to do after any car accident is to check on the safety of yourself and any occupants of your vehicle and seek out medical attention as soon as possible. Some injuries like traumatic brain injury or back injury might not be noticed due to the excitement and adrenaline of the accident. After seeking emergency medical care, it is time to reach out to a Decatur car accident lawyer to get started on your case to support the highest and fastest payment of the damages to which you are entitled.
How do I prove that the other driver is liable for the accident?
It is impossible for you to look into another vehicle to see what the other driver was doing in the moments before they hit you. Were they texting while driving? Had they just worked a 14-hour shift? Were the brakes in their vehicle defective and recalled by the factory? The answers to these questions can mean the difference between having to cover your own costs or recovering them as damages. Your Decatur car accident lawyer will use legal instruments like depositions, requests for production, and interrogatories to gather the evidence you need to win your case.
