At Culpepper Kurland, we offer experienced and aggressive representation on behalf of people injured in car accidents. No case is too big or too small for our firm. We handle car accident cases resulting in everything from broken bones and whiplash to amputation, paralysis and death.

What To Do After A Car Accident
Critical evidence such as tire tracks, skid marks and eyewitness accounts can fade over time. Never under any circumstance give a recorded statement without the advice of an experienced personal injury attorney. Take photographs of the property damage to the vehicles involved in the accident and any visible injuries such as scrapes, bruises, cuts and stitches. Most importantly, seek medical attention immediately.
Finally, you should retain an attorney early in the process, allowing him or her to investigate the accident and pursue your claim for compensation before the insurance company begins to build its case. If you were in an accident and have questions about your legal rights, contact an experienced attorney before you talk with the insurance company of the person at fault. Signing the wrong documents could mean you have settled for less than what your case is worth.
If you have been injured and need to speak with an attorney, we are pleased to offer a free consultation to discuss your case. To contact our Tampa law office, call 813.228.8600.
Frequently Asked Questions After An Accident
If you are wondering what to do after an accident, it can be helpful to work with a Tampa car accident lawyer who can quickly answer your questions and give you guidance moving forward.
Why is it important to seek medical attention immediately after a car accident, even if I feel fine?
First and foremost, some injuries may be worse than the symptoms suggest, such as traumatic brain injuries or internal bleeding. It is crucial to talk to medical professionals and get a diagnosis.
Moreover, if you have been injured in the accident, seeking medical attention helps you to gather appropriate documentation. You may need copies of your medical records when seeking compensation for medical bills. Along with police reports, witness statements, and other types of evidence, these medical records can be useful as you build your case with a car accident attorney in Florida.
Why is it important to take photographs of vehicle damage and visible injuries?
You cannot always count on the other driver to tell the truth, so taking pictures or videos at the scene helps to provide evidence of what happened. It can help to take pictures of the entire scene to demonstrate who was at fault, but you also want pictures of injuries and physical damage to the vehicle. These photographs help to demonstrate exactly what happened in the accident and why you deserve compensation. They show exactly how you were injured in the car accident, for example, which can then be connected to your medical records to show the cost of treatment.
Why should I avoid giving a recorded statement to an insurance company without a vehicle accident lawyer?
It is risky to talk to insurance companies or even the authorities without a personal injury attorney in Florida. You do not want to say anything that could incriminate yourself or imply that you were even partially at fault. A car crash lawyer can help you determine exactly what you should say to put yourself in the best possible position for future success. Your ability to seek accident compensation may depend on these initial statements.
