Serious injuries can happen when negligent drivers fail to yield. If you or a family member has been injured in a failure to yield car accident in Hackensack, here are 3 steps you need to take to help your family, and protect your legal rights:

- You need to document the accident and your injuries. This one isn’t as much of a ‘need,’ because if you can’t get the police report, your dedicated personal injury law team will help you do so. If you can, you should take photos of your car, the road the accident took place on, and any visible injuries. Bring anything you may have to your free consultation, but don’t worry if you don’t have documentation— we can help you.
- You need to make sure you don’t sign ay paperwork or cash any checks from an insurance company or the other driver. Their goal is to get rid of this situation by paying you off with the lowest number possible or forcing you into signing something without a personal injury lawyer reviewing it. If you’re offered anything, don’t sign. Call the O’Cathain Law Group personal injury law group so that you can learn your legal options.
