Dan Wyde • February 7, 2025

Protect Your Rights After a Car Accident

Being in a car accident can be overwhelming. You’re dealing with injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and insurance companies trying to minimize your compensation. But knowing your rights can help you secure the settlement you deserve.


📌 What Should You Do Immediately After a Car Accident?


1️⃣ Check for Injuries & Call 911 – Even if injuries seem minor, getting medical attention is crucial.

2️⃣ Move to a Safe Location – Stay out of traffic but don’t leave the scene.

3️⃣ Gather Evidence – Take photos, videos, and note key details.

4️⃣ Get Witness Contact Info – Independent witness accounts strengthen your case.

5️⃣ File a Police Report – This official documentation can support your claim.

6️⃣ Contact an Attorney Before Speaking to Insurance – Insurance companies often try to lowball settlements.

🔹 Why Legal Representation Matters


Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working against you. Without a personal injury lawyer, you risk accepting a low settlement that doesn’t cover your damages.


At Wyde & Associates, we fight for:

✅ Medical expenses (past & future)

✅ Lost wages & reduced earning capacity

✅ Pain & suffering compensation

✅ Vehicle repair or replacement costs
