Because evidence is the cornerstone of all lawsuits, we also employ a full-time, dedicated investigative team to ensure evidence is obtained as quickly and efficiently as possible. Attorney Billy Johnson regularly travels across the U.S. to work with top professionals and experts so that our clients have the resources needed to secure the best outcome possible for their case.
Immediate Steps After an Accident
The choices you make immediately after being involved in an accident can have a direct impact on the compensation you may be awarded later. The first thing you should do is get yourself out of the path of traffic to avoid further injury. If someone was seriously injured or killed in the collision, do not move them or the vehicles. Next, call the police. If at all possible, take pictures of the accident scene (the vehicles, the roadway, your visible injuries) and get contact information from any witnesses before leaving.
Lastly, get legal help. Filing a claim for damages from a traffic wreck is complicated and can distract you from your recovery. Call the Kentucky accident attorneys of the Johnson Law Firm toll free at 606-437-4488 or by contacting us online.
How can an investigative attorney help?
In the days and weeks after an accident, memories fade and physical evidence gets cleared away. Once you contact us, we will gather additional proof, such as:
- Police, fire, and emergency services reports
- Additional photos
- Official witness statements
- Accident reconstruction reports
- Medical records
- Evidence of past and future income
- Expert witness testimony
- Measurements of the accident scene
- Information about the other driver (including personnel files and regulation compliance if a tractor-trailer was involved).
