If you’ve been involved in an automobile accident, make sure you talk to an accident injury lawyer before you talk to anybody else.  Of course you’ll have to speak to the police, but if the insurance company for the other driver that was involved in the accident calls you for a statement, you should be able to refer them to your lawyer.  Many lawyers these days will take a case and not the charge any fees unless the case is won.  Even if you feel that your injuries are very minor, it’s still a good idea to seek the advice of a qualified attorney.
