What Do I Do if I am Injured in a Kansas City Accident While Driving a Rental Car?

Our accident injury lawyers in Kansas City suggest that every accident victim do the following:

1. Call 911 and report the accident.
2. Get any injuries treated.
3. Get contact information from the other driver and from any witnesses.
4. If the police did not come to the scene, file an accident report.
5. Take pictures of the damage and your injuries.
6. Write down whatever you can remember about the accident.

If your Kansas City motor vehicle accident involved a rental car, you will also need to:

1. Contact the car rental agency to report the accident.
2. If you declined the insurance offered by the rental car company, contact your insurance company and the credit card company (for the card you used to pay for the vehicle) to see if they cover the accident.

The main difference between a rental car crash and any other Missouri auto accident is that as the renter, you may be liable for any damage to the car, even if you didn't cause the accident. If you were injured and the rental company determines that you owe them for the vehicle, you may be able to file an injury claim against the driver who caused your Missouri car crash. Contact an accident injury attorney in Kansas City to learn more. To schedule an appointment with our accident injury lawyers in Kansas City, call Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys at 888-348-2616.

When you meet the Missouri accident lawyer for your free legal consultation, please bring:

• A copy of the accident report, claim documents, and repair estimate
• A copy of the rental agreement
• Photos of the damaged vehicle
• Your medical records
