​

​
1. Were you injured in the car accident?

3. Did you sign anything from the insurance company?
​
It's important to get a free case evaluation from an experienced Arkansas car accident attorney to determine if you have a case. Our attorneys are available to talk with you and typically can determine if you have a case with just a short chat about the facts surrounding your accident.

What Should I Do After a Car Accident?
Over 10 million car accidents occur in the U.S. each year. If you or a loved one are involved in a car accident using this list immediately after the accident can help with your car accident claim.
1. Pull Over to a Safe Place and call 911
Alerting the police and emergency medical personnel can save lives in the event of serious injury.
2. Share Insurance Information
Ask the other driver(s) for their insurance information. Don't admit fault, even if you believe you are the responsible party. If the other driver(s) are uninsured get all of their contact information and if possible take a photo of their drivers license or identification card.
3. Gather Evidence
If possible take as many photos of the accident as possible. Photos and videos of the area, damaged cars, and any other things that could be helpful to the investigation.
​
Collect the contact information of any witnesses.
4. Get your Police Report
Typically you can obtain a police report from your accident 10 days after the accident occured, however you can contact the investigating police department as soon as a few days after your
accident to request your report.
5. Contact a Car Accident Attorney
A car accident attorney will ensure that you don't miss any deadlines for filing a claim. A car accident attorney will also protect your rights to maximum compensation.
Don't let the insurance companies bully you in to accepting a low settlement offer that is only a fraction of what you need to recover from the accident.
​
Contacting a 24 hour car wreck attorney at The Brad Hendricks Law Firm is the best move you can make after a car wreck, motorcycle wreck, or a semi-truck wreck.

What Types of Compensation Can I Receive?
Injured accident victims may be eligible to collect compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. The driver responsible for the accident is also responsible for paying these damages. While no two accident claims are quite alike, injured accident victims can seek compensation for:
Medical Bills
After an accident, medical bills can be staggering. Ambulance rides, surgeries, hospital stays, rehabilitation expenses, physical therapy, and medication costs can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars – even with insurance.
Future Medical Expenses
When an injury becomes chronic or you are left with a permanent disability, you may endure high medical expenses throughout your lifetime. Future surgeries, prosthetics, medical equipment, physical therapy and long-term care are just a few of the future medical expenses you may incur.
Lost Wages
If you are injured in an accident, it can take weeks and even months for you to get back to work. During this time, you may go unpaid, making it difficult to pay for your everyday living expenses. Receiving compensation for any lost wages is critical to getting back on your feet again after an accident and avoiding bankruptcy or financial ruin
Loss of Future Earnings
If your injuries are permanent, you may be unable to return to work at all or continue to work in your chosen profession. When this occurs, the negligent driver is responsible for any future earnings you will lose because of your injuries.
Pain and Suffering
It can be difficult to put a number on your pain and suffering. But when your life has been irreparably changed, you should not have to bear that alone. After a devastating collision, accident victims’ lives are rarely the same. They may be unable to pick up their children, walk their dog or enjoy their regular hobbies. The “at-fault” driver should compensate you for the painful ordeal you went through and for loss of enjoyment in life.
Do I Need to Hire an Attorney After an Auto Accident?
After a car accident occurs, insurance companies start to gather their own information on the accident, your injuries, property damage and begin to work to reduce your claim. The insurance companies main interest is to protect their shareholders, not injured accident victims.
​
Hiring an experienced car accident attorney to file your accident claim ensures your rights to compensation will be protected throughout the legal process. Our car accident lawyers won't let the insurance companies offer you a low-ball settlement. Our attorneys go to bat for you from the day you become a client to make sure you are being fully compensated for your injuries.
​
Our car accident attorneys will help ensure that you don't miss any critical deadlines, understand the full scope of any damages, prove strict liability, help you avoid financial losses, and protect your rights against insurance companies.

Never take on the insurance companies alone!
