First steps after an Auburn crash

Call for help, stay warm and let a clinic check you. After that, keep to simple tasks: photograph the road and your vehicle, gather the Auburn police or state police report number and store the discharge page. A search for a car accident lawyer near me is something many people do from a hospital bed or kitchen table, which is fine. Wait before agreeing to anything with the other driver's side, and do not post about the crash.

Auburn's roads and crash conditions

Auburn is the seat of Androscoggin County, across the river from Lewiston, with I-95 (the Maine Turnpike) passing through and US 202, Route 4 and Route 11 carrying local and regional traffic. The turnpike exit funnels commuters and travelers onto Washington Street and Center Street, where retail traffic produces rear-end and turning collisions. The bridges between Auburn and Lewiston concentrate traffic at peak hours. Maine winters bring deep snow, ice and frost heaves that damage road surfaces well into spring. Rural roads around Lake Auburn see deer and moose, and summer visitors heading to the lakes region add to the load.

What the free case review covers

Your call is answered by a real person at any hour, with English, Spanish and Arabic available, which helps in a city with a growing mix of languages. We ask about the crash, your injuries and the care so far, then explain how Maine decides fault. That free consultation includes a plain list of records to keep. It costs nothing and promises nothing. You will know whether a lawyer seems likely to help.

Connecting you with a Maine attorney

Car Accident Lawyers Agency is a Legal Gridlock referral line, and none of us is an attorney. We use your story to introduce you to a car accident attorney licensed in Maine who handles Androscoggin County crashes: bridge approach rear-ends, turnpike collisions or winter spinouts on Route 4. The attorney examines the facts and tells you whether the case is one to pursue. An honest no is part of the service. You can ask about anything in your Auburn file, and the answer should be plain.

After you have a lawyer

After you hire a personal injury lawyer, the other side is told to deal with the office, and you can breathe. The lawyer requests the Maine crash report, gathers bills and looks for video from the turnpike, bridges or stores. You continue treatment through the winter. Once your doctors can describe your outlook, talks begin, and your lawyer explains each proposal and whether filing in Androscoggin County is wise. Nothing is accepted or declined without your say, and questions are welcome throughout.

Questions people ask

I was hit on the Longley Bridge between Auburn and Lewiston. Where do I turn?

Start with the police agency that wrote the report; it may be Auburn, Lewiston or state police depending on the spot. The bridges concentrate traffic at rush hour, so witnesses are plentiful. Photograph the lane and direction, and ask a lawyer to check whether city or state cameras recorded it.

Does a frost heave excuse the other driver's loss of control?

Not usually. Frost heaves and potholes are familiar spring conditions in Maine, and drivers must adjust speed and following distance. If a road defect was serious and unmarked, the town or state might share responsibility, but those claims have short notice rules, so mention it early.

How does Maine's fault rule affect me?

Maine reduces your recovery by your share of fault and bars a claim if your fault is equal to or greater than the other side's. In practice, that means percentages get argued hard. Photos, the report and witness names can keep the numbers close to what really happened.

How do I find a lawyer in Androscoggin County who speaks Somali or French?

Our line is answered in English, Spanish and Arabic, and for other languages we arrange interpretation. Auburn and Lewiston have large Somali and French-speaking communities, so many local lawyers work with interpreters. Tell us your language and we will look for a personal injury attorney who is comfortable in it.
