    PHILADELPHIA, PA, June 02, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Intersectional auto accidents comprise over 40 percent of all car accidents in the United States every year. An intersectional accident most often involves the bumper of one vehicle impacting the side of another vehicle. The impact from these accidents can lead to catastrophic personal injuries such as:

- Neck injuries
- Head injuries
- Limb damage including paralysis and amputation
- Broken bones
- Death

Unfortunately, in many instances it may not be clear who caused an intersectional accident. Causes of these accidents may include negligence on the part of one or both drivers, defective lighting or roadway signs, or even a defective vehicle. The cause of your accident will be immaterial to the damages it brings. You need an experienced auto accident attorney on your side to ensure you are treated fairly and provided with the compensation you will require to fully recover from your injuries.

What to do After an Intersectional Accident

First, check yourself and your passengers for any signs of injury. As soon as you have a handle on what's happening inside your car, call 911. When emergency personnel arrive, be sure to cooperate, but never admit fault. Get the names and identification of all attending emergency personnel.

While waiting for emergency personal, you should gather the contact information of any witnesses as well as from the driver of the other vehicle. Be sure to exchange insurance information and to call your insurance provider while you are still at the scene of the accident. You will also want to take pictures with your camera or cellphone. All of this will be helpful when you contact an attorney.

What an Attorney will do

With the information you gathered at the scene of the accident, your attorney will work to recreate the scene to determine liability. This is particularly important if you are seeking damages beyond what insurance is willing to offer. Your attorney will be able to determine liability and build a case on your behalf to seek damages including medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, and personal pain and suffering. This can only be accomplished with a personal injury lawsuit and requires the expertise of an auto accident attorney.
