6 of the Worst Things You Can Do After An Accident

March 30, 2016 by influexwp

Millions of car crashes happen every year, so the odds are you may be involved in an accident at some point. You need to know how to handle the situation accordingly. If you are in a car accident, here’s exactly what NOT to do!

Act frantically, take quick breaths or act hysterically. The closer you are to having a full-on panic attack the better.

“OMG! Here come the police to take our versions of the story! I know how much they love panicky screaming and limbs flailing wildly! I’ll do a lot of that! THEN they’ll know whose fault this was!”

Did someone hit your car? Say the accident is your fault. This will make things easier in the long run for sure.

“My bad! I should have noticed that you are a busy multi-tasker the way you were in the middle of an important text, adjusting the volume on the radio AND turning on your defroster while speeding! I should really be cautious of YOUR needs!”

Don’t call the police, they won’t know what to do. Call your grandmother. She will know exactly what to do.

“Grammy? Hi… It’s me… Listen… Does your bridge partner still practice law part time?”

Exchange Twitter handles, Instagram usernames, etc. with all of the parties involved. Anything to help your follower numbers go up.

“Hey! You rear-ended me and totaled my car! I should TOTALLY get this neck pain checked out too… but you seem cool. We have, like, 12 mutual friends.”

Take multiple selfies at the scene for Snapchat. Add it to your story.

“My car is trashed because of your reckless driving, but LAWD we look good in this photo!”

Don’t worry about your insurance coverage. Who needs that? Contribute to your shopping fund instead.

“No, no… You see …. Insurance is for the OTHER guys! I am GOOD driver!”

All kidding aside, if you are in an accident and don’t know what to do – the right ways to handle the situation can be found here. Still have questions? Call Alexander Shunnarah Personal Injury Attorneys, P.C. at 1-800-229-7989!

March 30, 2016 by influexwp

It’s that time of year to evaluate your annual goals and set your 2019 resolutions. Keeping on track and in line with your resolutions can be difficult, but Alexander Shunnarah Personal Injury Attorneys, P.C. has the tips for you to succeed.

BE REALISTIC – Don’t create an unattainable goal for yourself. Not only will you set yourself up for failure, but you will also continue to be discouraged by the tremendous task you have ahead.
ESTABLISH A ROUTINE – If you create a basic day-to-day routine towards completing your goals for 2019, it will become second nature to your daily plans.
SHARE YOUR RESOLUTIONS – Don’t keep your objectives a secret. Surrounding yourself with a support system will help keep spirits up–and keep you on track.
LOG YOUR PROGRESS – Keep up with your successes during the process. Track your shortcomings as well. You will appreciate how far you have come when you are able to reflect on the journey towards your goals.
KEEP GOING – There will be times where you may be discouraged or unmotivated, but keep going! Recommit yourself to your resolutions when you lose track of your routine. Take it one day at a time if necessary; don’t be overwhelmed by the 365 day timeline.

Keeping your resolutions going all year long can be difficult, but with a little bit of motivation and encouragement you can accomplish a lot.

What’s your New Year’s Resolution? Let us know on Twitter or Facebook!

Protect yourself from identity theft!

March 30, 2016 by influexwp

Protect your identity against serious cyber attacks. Identity theft affects millions every year. Don’t let yourself be another statistic.

Alexander Shunnarah Personal Injury Attorneys, P.C. has suggested measures to keep your identity safe from cyber threats.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR IDENTITY ONLINE:

1. Exclude important personal information, such as address or email address, from all of your social media profiles – Hackers could easily access your information and use it against you.

2. Check your settings – Make sure your privacy settings are set to ensure a secure profile. View your profile setting every so often due to software updates.

3. Strengthen your passwords – If your password is easy to remember, more than likely it is easy to crack.

4. Watch out for suspicious emails – Spam email has evolved and is getting more sophisticated. Never respond to emails asking for personal information such as your bank account number, or to emails purporting to be from the federal government which you are not expecting, for instance from the IRS.

5. Review your bank statements – Keep a close eye on your statements for unfamiliar transactions. Report suspicious transactions to your bank.

Be smart about sharing your information. Take proper steps to protect your identity against cyber stalkers.

If you think your identity has been stolen or compromised, let us help you!
