Steps to Take After You’re Injured in a Car Accident
When you’re injured in an accident, taking the right steps can make a significant difference in your recovery and your legal case. Here’s a guide to help you navigate the process:
- Seek Medical Attention: Prioritize your health and get a thorough medical evaluation, even if injuries seem minor.
- Document the Scene: Take photos of the accident scene, any damage, and your injuries. Gather contact information from witnesses.
- File a Police Report: Obtain a copy of the police report, as it’s crucial for your case.
- Immediately Contact Your Car Accident Lawyer: Reach out to a Reno car accident attorney as soon as possible to get professional guidance and representation.
- Don’t Discuss Accident Details with Insurance Companies: Avoid discussing the specifics of the accident with insurance adjusters before consulting your attorney.
- Don’t Sign Anything Without Legal Advice: Insurance companies have started a new trend of offering injured people money up front via direct deposit and having them DocuSign settlement agreements, which can be misleading and trick people into premature settlements—never accept any money or sign anything without first consulting your attorney.
- Obtain Copies of All Paperwork: Ensure you keep copies of all relevant documents related to the accident, including medical records and insurance correspondence.
- Avoid Arguments: Do not argue about the accident details with the other party involved. Leave the negotiations to your attorney.

Types of Car Collision Cases We Handle
At Friedman & Throop, we have the expertise to represent victims of various types of car accidents. Our team is dedicated to handling a wide range of crash scenarios with the attention and care they require. Here’s an overview of the types of car accidents we manage:
- Distracted Driving Accidents: These occur when a driver’s attention is diverted from the road, often due to texting, using a phone, or other distractions. The consequences can be severe, affecting everyone involved.
- DUI Accidents: Driving under the influence impairs a driver’s judgment and control, creating a high risk of severe accidents. In Nevada, DUI is taken very seriously, and we are prepared to handle cases involving impaired drivers.
- Head-On Collisions: These collisions involve the front ends of two vehicles crashing into each other, usually at high speeds, leading to serious injuries and significant damage.
- Highway Crashes: Due to the high speeds involved, highway crashes often result in more severe injuries and fatalities compared to accidents at lower speeds.
- Hit-and-Run Accidents: When a driver leaves the scene of an accident, it complicates the process of seeking justice and compensation. We work diligently to identify and hold the responsible party accountable.
- Rear-End Accidents: Commonly known as “fender benders,” these accidents involve one vehicle hitting another from behind. Despite their frequency, they can result in significant injuries such as whiplash and concussions.
- Speeding Accidents: Speeding increases the severity of crashes, leading to more severe injuries and property damage. We address the challenges these accidents present in securing fair compensation for victims.
No matter the type of accident, Friedman & Throop is committed to investigating your case, gathering evidence, and advocating for the compensation you deserve. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation and discuss your case with our experienced team.
