At the scene of the accident, make sure that you or someone else has called 911 to report the collision to police. If it can be done safely, leave the vehicles where they came to rest until police arrive and take photos of the scene if you are physically able. If you are not in safe place and your vehicle can be moved, talk with the other parties involved and find a safe space to wait for police. Try to take photos if you can safely before moving your vehicles.
Be sure to get the names and contact information of all parties involved, as well as any witnesses who stopped. Exchange insurance information with all other parties involved. Get evaluated by medics if you are experiencing any pain or discomfort and follow their instructions pertaining to any medical attention you may need.

Spencer Injury Law, like most any personal injury firm, works on a contingency fee basis – meaning you do not pay a retainer, or any fees up front for our time. Our fee is based off a percentage of what we ultimately recover on your behalf. If there is not a successful recovery, you do not owe us an attorney fee for our time. Contingency fee agreements allow prospective clients to select the attorney they are most comfortable with, regardless of a cost, since there is not an out-of-pocket expense up front. We value this type of agreement because we can take the time to speak with our clients regularly and at length, really getting to know them and their stories, without having to send a bill for our time on every correspondence. This allows us to dive deeply into our cases, without driving up a bill for the client, which we find also leads to the best results for our clients.

It is often the reality that the wheels of justice turn slowly. If a case must be filed into litigation, it will extend this process out. Rushing into a settlement is not something we recommend in many cases, and we pride ourselves in fully working up and evaluating our cases prior to engaging in any settlement discussions. This will be different in every case, and we encourage you to reach out to us at 425-300-1955 to discuss your specific case.
