Facing the Recovery After a Car Accident

Cars are a common form of transportation, and most people use them every day. This adds convenience to our lives. It also adds danger that most people don't fully realize.


Car accidents are especially common, and they can be life-altering. When your accident is caused by someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. To find out if your case qualifies, talk to the experienced personal injury lawyers at Murray & Murray LLC.


We can evaluate your case and negotiate with the insurance companies to get a settlement for you. This settlement can cover your personal injury and other losses. These losses can be both economic and non-economic. In other words, it can cover:


  • Medical bills
  • Lost income
  • Property damages
  • Pain and suffering


We'll make sure you get a fair settlement and represent your interests in court. To bolster your case, we can conduct our own investigation to prove that the other party is liable. If the case goes to trial, we'll be there to stand with you before a judge and jury.


You don't have to face recovery by yourself after a car accident. Murray & Murray LLC is here for you. Call us now to get a free consultation. We'll fight for justice for you!

Proving Fault and Liability After a Car Accident

The critical way to win a personal injury case after a car accident is to prove that someone else is at fault. You must show that another party was negligent and should be held liable for your losses. At Murray & Murray LLC, we know this sounds simple, but it can be quite complicated.


First, we must show a breach of duty. Other drivers are obligated to operate their vehicles safely. If they are not driving safely, they have breached their duty. Some examples could include drunk driving and distracted driving. Any irresponsible behavior may qualify.


Then, we must establish that the other party caused the injury. This requires evidence from the scene, and we will also use medical records, police reports, and witness accounts.


We must also establish that harm was done. You need proof of the damages. This could include your medical expenses or wrongful death. It can also include pain and suffering. By showing that harm was done and linking that harm to another party, it's possible to substantiate your case in court so you get compensation.


At Murray & Murray LLC, we've helped countless people just like you with car accident cases.

What to Do After a Car Accident

The experience of a car accident can be quite overwhelming. It can be difficult to get your wits together. However, after your accident, we recommend several steps.


First, always get medical help. Your safety is paramount. Get checked out by medical professionals and don't be afraid to go to the emergency room for more imaging. Follow through with your doctor and finish any prescribed treatments. Your injuries could include:


  • Broken bones
  • Head injuries
  • Spinal injuries
  • Burns
  • Cuts and bruises


After you are confident that you are safe, file a police report. Always report the accident to local police and be part of the police report. You can give your account on the scene. This report can be critical evidence. You should also get contact information from anyone in the crash or at the scene. Get their names, numbers, and insurance information for later reference. Don't be afraid to take pictures of their license plate.


If you're able, try to document the scene. Take pictures of your car and all other cars involved. It's also a good idea to have pictures of the scene. Highlight the dents, debris, tire marks, and other indications of the crash. This can help substantiate your case.


At this point, you should call your insurance company. They should be involved with this process, but you should be careful not to admit fault or guilt in any way. It is also a good idea to call Murray & Murray LLC. As personal injury lawyers, we can help with your case. No one is required to hire a lawyer, but we can provide help with insurance claims and lawsuits to make sure you're protected throughout the process.
