If you or somebody you care about has been injured in a car accident that was caused by the careless or negligent actions of another person, you may be able to recover compensation for your losses. Securing compensation in the aftermath of a car accident in Loveland, Colorado can be complicated, but there are steps the victims in these cases can take to help ensure that they are treated fairly by insurance carriers and other parties involved. Here, the Loveland car accident attorneys at Cannon Law outline these steps.
When we turn to data available from the Colorado Department of Transportation, we can see that there were well over 7,000 total traffic crashes during the latest reporting year across Larimer County. The statistics show that, out of these crashes, there were almost 2,000 injury-causing collisions and 34 fatal incidents. After a crash, you need to do the following to ensure you are taken care of and that you secure full compensation:
Regardless of how severe the crash is, you need to stay at the scene of the incident. Get to a safe location and call 911. Let the police come to the scene so they can fill out an accident report. If you have the Crash Genius app, available for free for your smartphone, then you will be guided through every step you need to take. In fact, Crash Genius is able to detect a crash and will make sure you are okay.
You need to seek assistance from a medical professional after any car accident in Loveland, CO. Even if you do not think your injuries are severe, let a doctor make that determination. In many cases, car accident injuries do not become apparent until hours or days after the incident occurs.

If you are able to safely do so at the scene, use your smartphone or another camera to take photographs of damages to any vehicles, possible causes of the crash, traffic and weather conditions, any injuries, and more. Make sure to get the name, driver’s license number, and insurance information of other drivers involved. If there were any eyewitnesses to the crash, get their names and contact information as well.
You need to report the incident to your insurance carrier as soon as possible, but be wary of how much you tell any insurance claims adjuster. Please know that insurance companies do not want to pay large settlements, even if you were not at-fault for the incident. Do not go into detail about how an accident occurred or your injuries with an insurance claim adjuster.
An insurance carrier may offer a quick settlement for your claim, but please understand that the amount is likely well below what you should be receiving for your case. It can be attempting to take initial settlement offers, but you may not yet know the full extent of your injuries or total costs. As soon as you take a settlement, you lose the ability to go back at a later date to obtain more compensation.
