    Accidents and mishaps are a part of life, and their inevitability catches us by surprise. When we step outside of our home, we prepare ourselves for many things. We get ready to face the physical and mental challenges in the workplace. We do a lot of brainstorming to prepare for it. A sudden and unexpected mishap is not anywhere near those thoughts. 

    You are probably wondering that you are a very cautious driver and so you do prepare in advance. But, the turn of events happens quickly and without preparation. It is because even if you prioritize safety, someone else may not. So, despite all the caution and practice, you might still become a victim of the mishap. This reality may hurt even more than any physical injury.

    And, due to this, we need to be professionally well-versed. But what does that even mean? Well, when an accident happens, things turn chaotic too soon. You witness the damage to your vehicle with your eyes. What’s worse? You might also suffer a physical injury or prolonged mental trauma. If you have some professional assistance available, things could get more comfortable. That’s where the role of a car accident lawyer comes in for the necessary help.

    Here, it is essential to understand the difference between having and not having professional help. A victim temporarily loses the ability to think on the scene of an accident. Even if there is no apparent physical damage, mental agony may be too high. It is due to the trauma that the affectee visits a psychologist several times after the mishap. A professional, on the other hand, has good skills in comprehensively dealing with such incidents.

    Without further ado, let’s look into the legal advice for settling your car accident claim. After all, you deserve to receive the rightful compensation for the mental or mental damages you suffered.

    1. Seek Assistance on The Spot

    As a victim of any car accident, the timing of the incident is essential. That means that you should never delay calling for professional help in case of an accident. Soon after the mishap, things may begin to change, and evidence might move. And your claim may not be as credible as you want it to be. It is best to have the contact details of a professional lawyer with you whenever you are driving. 

    We will not hesitate to say that you should call a lawyer even before you get a relative or the law enforcers. If circumstances don’t allow you to contact them yourself, ask a passerby to do so. Timely assistance would mean that you have done half of the job already.

    1. Exchange Some Information

    The next important thing right after the accident is the exchange of some vital information. You’ll talk to the person causing the damage and ask for their contact information. Additionally, it is best to get some information about their insurance company as well. It will allow you to settle your claim sooner and expeditiously. Sometimes, a small car mishap may turn into a brawl. But if you are a victim, never indulge in any scuffle, verbal or physical. It might affect your case and might come in the way of getting a fair settlement. Don’t let anything or anyone manipulate you or your case.

    1. Ensure Accuracy, Exactness

    At this point, precise information is essential for all sides. The victim needs it more than anyone else. So, they should be mindful of what they convey to others. You will need to be accurate about what you say to your lawyer. They will ask you a few questions about the mishap, depending on the situation. And likewise, others present at the scene, such as the rescue service, will approach you. Be precise in your communication with them. Being accurate also means that one must not be exaggerative. Tell your lawyer everything as is, and they will take care of the rest.

    1. Reach-out to the Police

    We are sure you must have heard this one before, but it is essential, so we’re emphasizing it. If the police are not on the scene already, make sure police reach there as soon as possible. The fact is the police’s account is imperative in any car accident. If you are a victim of the mishap, you will need authenticity in your claim. Police will arrive there anyway, but their presence is necessary at the beginning. The sooner they get there, the better. Don’t be afraid of any questioning and narrate accurately what happened and how it happened.

    1. Don’t Reveal the Info

    It is something some of us may overlook. We might think that the initial few steps are adequate for a victim. But this one may come out of nowhere and sometimes change the whole case upside down. Or, if not that, then force you to settle it contrary to the claim. What happens is sometimes a person from the other side claiming to be a lawyer may ask for some information. The rule of thumb here is not to talk to anyone personally. Confirming the identity or whereabouts of the caller will be difficult. So, ask your lawyer to take care of any direct contacts.

    1. Be Very Resilient

    A car accident may test your patience continually. It will force you to go through mental trauma. That’s why you will need to be resilient at all times. Even if you see a prolongation in the case, don’t give up. Sometimes, success is closer than we might think. So, stay very firm until your lawyer wins you the accident claim. We know it isn’t easy to look after a case and appear in court. It affects you professionally and personally both, but perseverance is the key to emerging triumphant.

    Final Word

    A car accident can be one of the most traumatic things to happen to anyone. It takes a sheer amount of patience and consistency to get through it. But what provides us solace is the availability of expert assistance. A professional lawyer is aware of all the aspects of the case and knows how to deal with them. Last but not least, cautiously driving does help as it enables you to avoid any claims yourself.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
