Your Legal Rights After You Have Been Injured an Out-of-State Car Accident

Out-of-State Car Accident

The ability to travel across the country with great ease is one of the most underrated novelties of our great nation. Our interstate system brings us from one side of the country to another, east to west, north to south, and back again within a few days. Unfortunately, we do not leave the perils of driving in our home state when we hit the road. Severe, even deadly, accidents can occur anywhere at any time. Being a car accident victim in another state can leave you with a distinct disadvantage unless you understand what steps you should take to protect your rights if you are in an out-of-state car accident.

You must take the appropriate steps if you are involved in a car accident while not in your home state. First, you must contact the local law enforcement authorities while you remain at the scene of the accident. The responding officers may advise you of your obligations to file a police report and how to obtain a copy. The officers cannot refer you to an attorney or give you legal advice. Obviously, you must seek medical assistance if you experience an injury.

The next move you should make is to contact your insurance company. Your insurance company might be of great assistance to you, like providing a loaner car while yours is repaired or help you file a claim for personal injury protection benefits or medical payments. Your insurance company cannot discuss your rights to pursue a legal claim for bodily injuries in an out-of-state car accident.

Hiring a local attorney to advise you about your rights is vital to protecting yourself. You can contact an attorney when you arrive at home for assistance, but having an attorney represent you who is admitted to practice in the state in which the accident happened is your best bet to protect your valuable rights to receive proper compensation for your injuries sustained in an out-of-state car collision.

I would like it known, to those concerned, what a wonderful job Benita Rollis did on my behalf concerning the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund claim. Her skill and compassion made my experience with Parker Waichman one that I will not soon forget. From the very beginning, Benita approached this whole process with the knowledge and logic of a true professional and someone who clearly loves what she does. Every time the VCF threw me a curve ball during this process, Benita knew exactly how to handle it, alleviating all fears. Also, the fact that she made herself so accessible was a major comfort. Parker Waichman is a better law firm because of Benita Rollis. I will most definitely recommend her to all who may be in need of your service. Thank you Benita and thank you Parker Waichman for helping me realize justice and absolutely changing my life as well as restoring my faith in the legal system!

Christina Morace was not only an an amazing expert in helping us navigate thru the required paperwork for the VCF 9/11 Fund claim, she was also so wonderful in helping us get through the emotional toll of this process. She gave us clarity and encouragement for 3 years now. She was truly helpful and very very kind. We ( including my sister who has passed) feel so fortunate to have Tina "on the case", as expert and friend. We are grateful to Tina and the services of Parker Waichman. Thank you so so much. With much gratitude Sharon Carr (deceased) Karen Carr (sister of deceased) Yvette Christofilis (sister-in-law of deceased)
