    When you’re driving a car, there’s always the potential for a road crash. Accidents can and do happen no matter how experienced or careful you are. If you’re a car enthusiast, it’s essential to be aware of your rights in the event of an accident – and know what to do to protect yourself. Here are tips to help you stay safe in a road crash.

    Prioritize Medical Attention

    When you, unfortunately, get involved in an accident, the priority should always be your safety and well-being. Regardless of who you think might be at fault, seek medical attention, especially if you’re experiencing pain or discomfort.

    Understand also that the at-fault driver’s insurance provider will cover most medical bills, so don’t hesitate to get checked out. Insurance companies may use this as leverage to avoid paying out any claim if you fail to seek medical attention and your injuries worsen.

    Besides, the medical records show the true extent of your injuries and hence become an essential part of your legal case. For instance, when it comes to lawsuit valuation, medical bills will form a significant part of it.

    Consult an Attorney

    Find an attorney before you speak to the insurance companies involved. This is because the insurer’s priority is to pay out as little as possible, so it’s best to have a professional legal representative who can advise you and counter any attempts by insurers to underpay.

    Your lawyer can also assist in obtaining medical records and other documents that may be useful in court. They can also help to negotiate a more favorable and reasonable settlement for you, considering the time, money, and effort involved.

    When involved in a truck accident, look at a legal team’s prowess in handling truck accidents. This will ensure your rights and interests are adequately represented since truck companies have laws that they must adhere to. They should have experience handling complicated truck accident law suits for an extended period. It’s this exposure that will keep you from being taken advantage of. Besides, concentrate on getting the best settlement to cover damages, medical bills, and other expenses.

    Take Pictures and Gather Evidence

    When you’re involved in an accident, take pictures of the scene. This includes images of both cars, any damage caused by your injuries, and other relevant information, such as skid marks. Make sure to record the badge numbers of any police officers in attendance.

    These photos and records can help you to prove your case in court if necessary. It’s also a good idea to speak with witnesses who may be able to corroborate your story if it comes down to legal proceedings.

    Know Your Legal Rights

    Understanding your legal rights is essential in case of a road crash. Depending on the laws in your state, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages such as pain and suffering. A qualified attorney can help you determine your rights and file a lawsuit if necessary.

    You can always seek advice from other car enthusiasts who have been through a road accident. They can provide valuable insight into their experiences and offer tips on what to do in case of an accident.

    If you’re in an online community of car enthusiasts, read up on the state laws and regulations to stay informed. This will help you understand your rights in a road crash and how best to protect them.

    Contact Your Insurance Company

    You’ll need to contact your insurance firm immediately after the accident. Your insurer can help you file a claim and provide legal advice. However, in certain states, it’s only sometimes necessary to go through your insurance company – so make sure to talk with an attorney first if you need clarification on the laws in your area.

    Review any paperwork carefully, as the language can sometimes be confusing and tricky. An experienced lawyer can help you interpret these documents and ensure your rights are respected.

    When doing the insurance claim filing process, it’s important to remember that these companies will take advantage of those who need to be adequately prepared or represented. You should only agree to a settlement after consulting a lawyer. Make sure you understand the details of the settlement and how future medical needs could be handled if needed.

    Protecting yourself after a road crash is an integral part of the process. Taking photos, gathering witness statements, and consulting an attorney are steps you should take to ensure your rights are respected. Remember that insurance companies may try to take advantage of people who lack legal representation, so it’s best to consult a qualified lawyer before settling any agreement.

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
