Some of the best drivers may be involved in a car accident one day. Even though you are a safe driver, you cannot control the poor driving choices other drivers make when behind the wheel of their vehicle. If you have been involved in a car accident, you may be familiar with how Michigan’s no-fault insurance claims work. However, you may not know that the insurance company can deny your claim or a portion of your claim. No-fault insurance also does not compensate you for all damages. To recover money for suffering and pain, you must file a separate claim against the other driver. At The Clark Law Office, our Saginaw car accident attorneys investigate all potential sources of compensation so that we can increase the chance you will receive full compensation of all damages. Call 517-347-6900 now to schedule a free legal consultation with one of our Saginaw car accident attorneys. Our no upfront fee means you can hire our law firm without an attorney’s retainer fee because our attorney fee is paid when you receive your money.

Steps to Take After a Car Accident — Help Your Lawyer Help You
It may be difficult to know what to do in the aftermath of a car accident. You can help our attorneys fight for your right to a fair and just settlement for your accident claim by taking these steps after a traffic accident:
Call 911 Immediately — Report the crash to the police and request emergency services for injured victims.
Do Not Admit Fault — Even saying you are sorry at the accident scene could be construed as admitting fault.
Document the Accident Scene — If it is safe to do so and you will not injure yourself further, make a video and take pictures of the accident scene. If you do not contact our office right away, some of the details of the accident scene could change. Sometimes, a friend or relative may take pictures for you if you are seriously injured.
Eyewitnesses — Ask any eyewitnesses at the accident scene if they would give you their contact information. Eyewitness testimony is very convincing when you need to file a lawsuit against a third party for pain and suffering damages.
Seek Medical Treatment — If you do not go directly to the emergency room from the accident scene, you need to see your doctor as soon as possible. Documenting injuries is a major factor in recovering compensation for your injuries. Insurance companies often use a delay in medical care as a reason to deny accident claims.
Of course, one of the best ways you can help your accident claim be successful is to contact our Saginaw car accident lawyers now for a free appointment. Having our team of legal professionals working on your claim from the very beginning can increase the chance of success for you.
