Do you know what to do in the event of a car accident? Have you any idea when is the best time to see the doctor? If you're not sure whether you should see a doctor after an accident, then you should be asking for more serious health issues.
Car accidents happen every day, especially in busy cities like Sacramento. Those who keep up-to-date with the latest safety tips have a higher chance of preventing some of the complications after an auto accident. Are you one of these informed drivers?
If you're interested in staying safe after a vehicle collision then you'll want to invest 20 minutes to listen to this edition of The Law Show Sacramento where your host Nick Jaworski interviews Travis Black from Travis G. Black & Associates, Inc. about the best course of action to take if you are in a traffic accident.
All drivers are at risk for a collision at some point. The Sun Herald reports* that both drivers in an April 2014 crash that left ten dead and many others injured had clean driving records. Knowing what to do in the time following such an accident can potentially help prevent worse problems.
The episode kicks off with a bit about how Travis' law enforcement and insurance backgrounds helps him empathize with accident victims. He explains how his past experiences help him understand the process that these people go through after a collision.
Having a lawyer who understands how the system works gives you an advantage. It means there's less chance of overlooking the fine details when resolving the post-accident situation.
If you're the victim of an accident and aren't using a lawyer now, then you could be asking for big problems in the future.
Knowing What to Do In Case of an Accident
Next Travis explains what led to his becoming a lawyer to represent the victims rather the insurance companies. He also answers these questions regarding being in a car accident:
- What steps can I take to get the most from my insurance company? - What should I do if I find myself at the scene of a car accident? - How can a cell phone help after a car accident takes place? - What should I do after it's okay to leave the scene of the accident? - When should I see a doctor after a car accident takes place?
Now ask yourself two questions. Do you know what to do during an accident? Are you confident about when is the best time to see the doctor if you've been involved in a vehicle collision?
If you answered "No" to either or both of these questions it's time to learn those things now before you are involved in a car accident.
Start Rethinking Your Rules and Relationships
Next Travis Black talks about when to use health insurance for getting medical treatment after an automobile accident, and what alternatives you might have beyond that.
It's human nature to not want to complain. Travis goes on to discuss the disadvantages of under-disclosing information after a car accident, and offers some tips for how to make sure you're giving your doctor the right information.
Lawyers are there to help you make the right decisions after an automobile accident. You can be sure that the other party is using one. Why don't you make an appointment for a free consultation?
The episode wraps up with Travis sharing some final tips on how to prepare with a visit to your doctor after an automobile accident.

Do you know what happens after an insurance claim? Have you been misled that it will be as quick and painless as promised by endearing mascots on television commercials? If you aren't sure what happens after you make your insurance claim, then you could risk getting a lower settlement than you deserve.
Victims who receive smaller settlements than they feel they deserve hire lawyers to fight to get a better deal. Do you know the steps between filing a claim and knowing when it's time to call an attorney?
If you want to know more about what happens after an insurance claim, then you'll want to invest 20 minutes to listen to this edition of The Law Show Sacramento where your host Nick Jaworski interviews Travis Black from Travis Black Law about insurance companies and claims, including when it's appropriate to call an attorney for your insurance issue.
Insurance claims for car accidents are the most frequent because people are hurt in car accidents every day. In 2010, an estimated 2.24 million people were injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes according to research by the U.S. Department of Transportation*. This interview is a chance to learn what happens after a claim.
Why You're Not Necessarily In Good Hands
The episode kicks off with Travis sharing details from his background, which includes working on the police force, for several insurance companies, and as a lawyer. When it comes to insurance claims in the Sacramento area, including Placer, El Dorado, and Amador counties, his knowledge comes from a rather broad perspective.
Next Travis shares some of his professional experiences of working with insurance companies, and explains why it's not always as helpful or easy as media advertising might suggest. He explains how the public suffers because of dirty tricks insurance companies play**.
If you blindly trust the insurance company without knowing what happens after a claim, then you're inviting them to take bigger profits.
Like a Good Neighbor? Or Misleading Trickster?
Then Travis goes on to explain what happens after an insurance claim, starting with the car accident itself. He explains his views on giving recorded statements, and what you should and shouldn't allow the insurance company to do. He also addresses these questions:
- Should I use the body shop recommended by my insurance company? - How often will I hear from the insurance company in the state of California? - Can injuries that take place during a car accident affect my insurance claim?
Now ask yourself these questions: Does your insurance company have your best interest at heart when you file a claim? Are you confident that you can deal with the dirty tricks insurance companies play while recovering from a car accident? If you answered no to either, then it's time to seek legal counsel.
Choosing Those Who Are Really On Your Side
Travis goes on to explains why it's important to have a good attorney when filing an insurance claim. It's more important however to pick the right attorney. He describes risks associated with choosing a bad attorney, and what everything a good attorney should recover for you.
There are times after an accident when a person's health does not improve. Travis explains what to do after a claim in this case, including whom you should talk to and what types of information you should give that professional.
In addition to reimbursement for obvious bills, your insurance company should also compensate for emotional suffering and pain. Other victims are using a lawyer to make sure they don't become trapped by dirty tricks insurance companies play, so why aren't you?
The episode wraps up with Travis explaining the things that set him apart from other attorneys. He invites visitors to check out his website for additional information.

Free Advice from an Expert Sacramento DUI lawyer
A retired police officer whose specialty was handling DUI, Travis Black shares what happens when someone is pulled over on suspicion of DUI. Here is a brief overview of the steps that this Sacramento DUI lawyer explained in more detail during Travis and Kimberly's discussion.
- An officer sees something suspicious in regards to the way a person is operating a motor vehicle. - The initial suspicion may not even be DUI related, but something like a broken tail light. - The officer asks for the driver's license and registration. - For his own safety, the officer explains why he pulled the person over. - During this time the officer looks for suspicious activity related to DUI. - If there is suspicious activity, then the officer proceeds with various sobriety tests.
Unfortunately some officers do not follow the standard field sobriety test, but use unapproved tests instead. Travis also shares that while portable breathalyzer tests are a useful tool during the investigation for someone driving under the influence, they are not admissible in court.
