What Should I Do After a Car Accident?

Posted on Jan 31, 2014 9:35pm EST

 

All too often injured victims do not take the appropriate procedures after a car accident and then later on they are unable to recover the deserved compensation. While it can be an emotionally traumatic and stressful situation, it is essential that you are able to gather the necessary information and evidence to help in an injury case. To help make the process easier for you, here is a checklist of the key steps that you need to take after being involved in an auto accident:

1. Check to make sure everyone involved is okay and call 911 if help is needed
2. Start talking to witnesses and bystanders and get their contact information
3. Call the police, even if it is just a minor accident
4. Take down information of the other drivers involved
5. Report the incident to your insurance company
6. Take pictures and notes as evidence
7. Seek medical attention for any injury

There is a purpose to each one of these steps, even if you do not see it. One other thing to note is that you need to file an accident report if the police do not come to the scene. This helps insurance companies and in turn it helps you in your injury claim. The purpose of the pictures and notes is to gather evidence of the scene and the accident, this can help you prove negligence and recover damages. The reason that you need to seek medical attention for your injuries is to have proof through medical records. This is similar to having proof through the police report, you need as much evidence as possible to build your case. Witness statements are imperative to helping your case as well. Make sure that you stay calm and take the necessary procedures to help your injury case after an accident. If you have any questions, feel free to call us at Adams Law Firm, P.C.

Man Decapitated, Two Killed In Bronx Auto Accident

Posted on Nov 22, 2013 6:05pm EST
 

The New York Daily News reported last week that an auto accident on the Hutchinson River Parkway in the Bronx on November 9 resulted in two fatalities and the decapitation of a man.
According to the Daily News, cab driver Ata Noorzi, 51, and his fare Patrick Sheehan, 54, were killed when an SUV went airborne on the highway and into traffic, ripping the roof off the livery cab, a Lincoln Town Car.

Noorzi, an Afghani immigrant, leaves behind two sons and two daughters, while Sheehan, a banker for Wells Fargo, leaves behind three boys. “It’s always the good ones who go first,” said. Obid Noorzi, Noorzi’s brother, to the Daily News. “He never did anything wrong. Never in trouble, not a parking ticket.”

Sheehan was reportedly making a business trip to the airport from his home in Larchmont, N.Y. The Daily News reported that as Noorzi drove southbound on the highway, a black SUV heading northbound went airborne over an overpass, striking the top of the Town Car. The crash occurred around 7:10 a.m.

“The 45-year-old driver skidded across three lanes, slammed into the median and sailed directly into Noorzi’s cab — tearing its roof off and killing both men inside,” the Daily News reported. “The black SUV then slammed into a white SUV, bounced into the overpass and finally came to a stop on its roof.”

Sheehan was reportedly decapitated. The driver of the black SUV survived the crash and was taken to Jacobi Medical Center along with a passenger in the vehicle for treatment for serious injuries. The driver of the white SUV involved in the subsequent crash, as well as a passenger, were transported to the same hospital with minor injuries.

“I went to the taxi, but it was too late,” a witness to the crash told the Daily News. “The driver and the passenger were dead. … There was an arm in the road. It was horrible. It was really terrible to see.”
The Daily News reported that police were attempting to get a court order for a blood sample from the driver of the black SUV following the accident to determine if he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
