WHAT TO DO AFTER A CAR CRASH IN WILMINGTON
Report the accident to the police: If you are involved in a serious accident, we recommend calling 911 right away to ensure the police and paramedics arrive right away.
Cooperate with the police: You will need to provide the police with your name, contact information, insurance information, and your version of events leading up to the crash. Make sure you get the reference number for the police report, which can be used as evidence in your car accident claim.
Exchange information: You should speak with the other driver to get their name, contact information, and insurance information. Do not get into an argument with the other driver. If they are confrontational, do your best to deescalate the situation. Do not blame them or accept responsibility for the crash.
Ask witnesses for their info: If there are passengers in the other vehicle, or witnesses stopped to help, ask for their names and contact information. Your lawyer will contact them and ask for their statement regarding what they saw and heard.
Get medical help: If you are injured, we recommend having the paramedics treat you, and going to the emergency room as soon as possible. Even if you do not seem to be seriously injured, you should see a doctor right away. All of your injuries may not be readily apparent like whiplash, a concussion, or internal organ damage.
Notify your insurer: You should notify your auto insurance company of the crash as soon as possible. Keep a record of who you spoke with and any reference information they provide.
Call a car accident lawyer: To get help with the insurance claim process, to collect evidence and documentation, and to negotiate on your behalf, we recommend working with an experienced car accident attorney as soon as possible.
TESTIMONIALS
“Thom Goolsby and his team were amazing! My spouse was killed in a tragic auto collision leaving me and our child alone. To make matters worse, my deceased spouse was the main supporter of our family. They took over the estate, handled the personal injury and wrongful death claims, and forced the insurance companies to pay the maximum money available for the claim. He also collected all the workers’ compensation funds available. Thom took the time to meet with me, showed real compassion and concern, and gave me sound, well-reasoned advice. He made the best of our sad and tragic loss. Thank you, Thom Goolsby!”

GOOLSBY LAW FIRM CASE RESULTS
VETERAN FACING CRIMINAL CHARGES FOUND NOT GUILTY OF TWO OFFENSES When a disabled veteran was found with drug paraphernalia and marijuana in his vehicle, he was arrested and charged. To make matters worse, the officer who stopped him also charged the man with DWI (driving while impaired) and open container in a motor vehicle. Wanting to avoid the harsh penalties that would come from convictions on these offenses, the man reached out to Goolsby Law Firm for help. Attorney Thom Goolsby took the case to trial, where the client denied the impaired driving charge. Working hard to protect the client’s freedom and rights, attorney Goolsby advocated on the veteran’s behalf. As such, the client was found not guilty of the DWI and paraphernalia charges. While he was guilty of marijuana possession and the open container charge, he was simply ordered to pay court costs.
