Following the health contingency we are experiencing due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the number of car accidents has decreased thanks to people becoming aware of the need to stay home; however, car accidents have not been eradicated and many people continue to suffer injuries due to negligence.
COVID-19 and quarantine have caused some drivers to gain confidence to drive at excessive speeds since the roads are emptier, which represents an imminent danger to other drivers and pedestrians.
As stay-at-home orders are lifted, the volume of traffic on the roads will grow, likely causing accident statistics to rise gradually until reaching pre-pandemic levels.
If you or a loved one have suffered a car accident during COVID-19 times, it is important that you receive fair compensation from your insurance company regardless of your employment or health status. At Conexión Legal, we can support you in taking any kind of legal action in this regard so that you have the security of not exposing yourself outside your home and the guarantee that after your claim, you will receive fair compensation to cover your injuries.

What Should You Do First?
Following all the recommendations from authorities regarding only leaving home when necessary, you may think you should wait to file a claim for an accident; however, this could affect your opportunity to receive compensation with broad coverage.
If you are a victim of a car accident during the coronavirus pandemic, you must follow specific steps that are very similar to when this health emergency did not exist, such as:
Receive Medical Assistance
It is essential to seek a medical examination whenever you are a victim of a car accident since there could be internal injuries that you are not taking into account and that may not cause you pain due to the adrenaline of the moment.
The adrenaline rush as a body response could hide serious injuries that, if not treated, could affect you for the rest of your life. Call your doctor or visit an urgent care center with the necessary precautions to separate COVID-19 equipment and patients from the rest of the public for a complete checkup.
Anticipating and learning about your doctor's infection prevention plan to feel more prepared and protected in case you need medical attention will help you know how to act quickly.
Speak with a Car Accident Attorney at Conexión Legal
Currently, insurance adjusters are quick to investigate accidents due to the reduction in cases, so the attention you will receive from them will be just as effective and swift as that of the attorney you choose from our company.
However, it is important to make you aware that it is usually not advisable for the insurance adjuster to take control of the conversation and the settlement process of your case since their objective of reducing their company's liability will displace the priority of responding with the justice you seek.
If you receive a call and have not yet hired an attorney, contact us at any time to provide you with completely free legal advice, so that afterwards you allow us to take your case and we can handle the negotiations.
