WARNING:

You May Not Want To

Drive Your Car

Until You Read This…

From: Dr. Eric Zeiszler & Dr. Corey Schuler

There is something you may want to do before the next time you drive your car that may have a drastic effect on your future.

Here’s what this is all about:

You may or may not know this… but… December is National Drunk & Drugged Driving (3D) Prevention Month.

It is obvious that no one should ever drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. But no matter how well-behaved YOU are, that does not mean other drivers on the road will be… you may still end up in a car accident.

And, if you are in a car accident, it is not something that should be taken lightly, even if you do not think you are hurt and the accident did not seem to cause very much damage to your vehicle.

No matter how you feel, or what the damage looks like, there are certain steps you should take to make sure you stay safe and do not have your rights violated. That’s why we have sent you this letter and given you the following car accident tips and an actual checklist you can use and fill out if you are in an accident.

We would also like to offer you a free consultation with us if you are ever in a car accident. We have been treating car accident injuries for 5+ years and will know exactly how to handle your injuries – and we can help you find help for handling everything else that goes along with your case.

So, we hope it never happens, but if you are ever in a car accident, simply give us a call and we will get you and appointment the very same day. if necessary.

Keep this letter and checklist in your car. You never know when you will need it.

Here are your tips and checklist:

In case of an accident, follow these tips:

Don't leave the scene. Keep calm. Do not argue, accuse anyone, or make any admission of blame for the accident. If vehicles are operable, move them to the shoulder of the road and out of the way of oncoming traffic.

Call for medical assistance. If there are any injuries, provide basic first aid, but do not move an injured person unless you possess medical or lifesaving expertise.

Call a law enforcement officer, if needed. In many areas, they must be called. Get the officer's name, badge number, police station address and phone number. Ask when the accident report will be filed and how you can get a copy.

Read Your Policy. Don't wait to find out until after an accident that your policy doesn't automatically cover costs for towing or a replacement rental car. For only $1 or $2 a month, you can add coverage for rental car reimbursement, which provides a rental car for little or no money while your car is in the repair shop after an accident or if it is stolen.

Don't accept offers to settle for payment on the spot without careful consideration. You may be held liable later for the same damages.

Turn car engine off so it does not risk sparking a fire, and turn on hazard lights or use flares and other warning signs to alert other drivers to the accident.
