From documenting the scene to dealing with insurers, Kuzmich outlines essential actions every driver should take after an accident.
LEWISVILLE, TX, November 21, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With over 30 years of experience exclusively representing individuals and families who have suffered life-changing injuries, board-certified attorney Steve Kuzmich of Expert Injury Lawyer is actively raising public awareness about the importance of being informed of one's rights following auto accidents. Kuzmich emphasizes that even what seem like "minor" collisions can develop into major legal and financial challenges if mishandled.
"Most drivers assume insurance companies will do the right thing after an accident," said Kuzmich. "Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Knowing your rights and what steps to take (or avoid) immediately after a crash can make all the difference between being fully compensated or being left with mounting medical bills and lost wages."
Why Experienced Legal Guidance Matters
Kuzmich is one of the few attorneys in Texas certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in personal injury law — in fact, only about 1.2% of Texas lawyers hold that credential. His practice is limited to life-changing injury and death claims, giving him focused skillfulness and experience. He and his team pride themselves on being accessible by offering free consultations with no obligation, no forms to fill out, and immediate communication.
Common Misconceptions That Can Harm Your Claim
Kuzmich highlights several misunderstandings that can significantly impact a claim's outcome:
Admitting fault at the scene: Even a simple apology may be construed as admitting liability.
Relying solely on insurance adjusters: While they seem helpful, adjusters work for insurers, not for accident victims.
Delaying medical attention: Injuries may not manifest immediately, yet documentation and early treatment are crucial.
Accepting quick settlement offers: What seems like a convenient sum immediately after a crash may undervalue long-term costs such as ongoing therapy, future care, lost earning potential, and emotional trauma.
"After an accident, people are understandably shaken," explained Kuzmich. "They may be focused on getting their car fixed or returning to work. But taking the right legal steps early can prevent major financial and emotional stress later."
Educating and Empowering Clients
Kuzmich's firm helps educate the public about the claims process in a straightforward, accessible manner. Free consultations — offered with no form required and same-day responses are a hallmark of the firm's approach. "Our mission is to empower accident victims with knowledge," said Kuzmich. "Everyone deserves fair treatment under the law, and no one should feel pressured into decisions they don't fully understand."
