What to Do After a Car Accident in Ocean City?
- Seek Medical Attention: First, seek medical attention. Your health is the top priority. Even if you don’t feel pain or immediate injuries, it does not mean that you’re not injured. It’s important to get checked out by a healthcare professional. Sometimes, after an accident, your adrenalin can take over, masking your pain and injuries.
- Document the Accident:
- Get out your phone and take photos and videos of the scene, the vehicles, the landscape, license plates.
- Obtain the contact information of any witnesses, and exchange insurance information and contact information with all parties involved.
- Contact a Lawyer: Insurance companies often try to settle quickly and for much less than your case is worth. Contact an experienced Ocean City car accident lawyer who can guide you through the process and ensure you get fair compensation.
- Don’t Settle Early: Insurance companies may pressure you into a quick settlement. Don’t agree to anything without first consulting with an experienced car accident attorney.

What Happens Next Once I Hire an Ocean City Car Accident Attorney?
- Thorough Investigation: Immediately after you hire our law firm, our team will go to work on conducting a thorough investigation of your accident, this includes gathering the police report, pictures and videos of the accident, witness statements, and medical documents and records.
- Notifying Insurance Companies: We will also send our letters of representation to the insurance companies for all parties, medical providers, and any other relevant parties to the case.
- Settlement Demand: Once you have finished all of your medical treatment, in most cases, our attorneys will send out a demand package to the at fault insurance company. This package contains information about how you were injured, the injuries that you sustained, the treatment that you received, any lost wages that you may have had, as well as a demand that the at-fault party should pay for the injuries that they caused.
- Negotiations: Once the demand package has been received and reviewed by the insurance company, the attorney will contact the adjuster assigned to the case and discuss possible settlement of the case. During this period, the attorneys keep the client informed as to all settlement offers, and what the client would be willing to settle for, but ultimately, it is our client’s decision as to whether or not they want to settle their case.
- Filing a Lawsuit: If an appropriate settlement cannot be reached in your case, or if the other driver’s insurance company is putting you at-fault for the accident, then your attorney will file a lawsuit. The attorney initiates a lawsuit by filing a complaint with the court.
- Discovery: After the initial court documents are filed, both parties have a right to engage in the discovery process. This is a process by which each side can obtain information about the accident. This can include taking depositions of the parties (being asked questions under oath), requesting documents, and propounding interrogatories (written questions that are asked of each party).
- Trial: After the discovery phase has ended, the case will be set for a trial. A trial can either be in front of a judge or a jury trial. This consists of opening statements, witnesses giving testimony about what happened, witnesses being cross-examined, closing arguments, and deliberation by a judge or jury.
- Verdict: After a trial, a judge or jury will reach a verdict. If the verdict is in your favor, then an amount will be awarded.
