Every year there are over 6,000,000 car accidents in the United States, resulting in over 3,200,000 injuries. A car accident can have devastating effects on the lives of it’s victims, ranging from fatalities and serious bodily injury, to thousands of dollars in lost wages and property damages.

If you or a loved one has been in a car accident, it is important that you gather as much information as you are able as soon after the accident as possible. Take pictures of the scene, as well as any damages. If you feel that you have possibly been injured, see a physician as soon as possible. Very often victims of car accidents are in such shock that their bodies do not begin to process and assess current physical state until much later. Therefore internal injuries and fractures can go unnoticed, and if left untreated can cause serious, and sometimes fatal damage.

Because of the time-sensitive nature of evidence at accidents, it is important that you retain an attorney as soon after the accident as possible. Contact Bettis, P.C. for a free consultation. We work on a contingent fee basis, and we only recover a fee for our services when you recover!
