What Should You Do After An Auto Accident? | Episode 18 with Personal Injury Attorney, Marshall Witt

Du Charme Wealth Management Podcast

Why should you always call the police after an accident? Discover the chilling consequences of skipping this crucial step and how it can impact your insurance claims and legal standing. We share eye-opening red flags to watch for when the other driver insists on keeping the cops out of it—hint: they might have something to hide. Alongside, we unpack the high stakes and intense demands of a legal career, especially for those new to the profession. Balancing family life with the rigorous requirements of mandatory billable hours isn't just tough; it’s essential for mental well-being and career longevity.
We debunk this dangerous myth through compelling stories and professional insights, explaining why hiring skilled attorneys and financial planners is worth every penny. Learn how experienced professionals can boost your net compensation and navigate the labyrinth of personal injury cases. We also dive deep into the nuances of selecting the right attorney, emphasizing the value of referrals and personal references over flashy advertisements. Small firms often provide the personalized attention that big firms can't, making a substantial difference in your case outcome.
Finally, we examine how personal injury settlements can vary dramatically depending on location and state laws. Discover why a case in California could yield a wildly different compensation than a similar case in Utah. We underscore the importance of understanding these nuances and the strategic financial decisions that come into play post-settlement. From purchasing a home to paying off debt, we offer crucial advice on making the most of your settlement funds, backed by the wisdom of professional financial advisors. Tune in for a comprehensive guide on navigating the aftermath of an accident, from legal intricacies to smart financial planning.
