Why Choose Panchenko Law Firm?
When you hire Panchenko Law Firm to represent you in a personal injury case, you don’t just hire a law firm, you hire a family. Law firms are traditionally cold and disconnected. We believe in doing things differently for the modern age. While we maintain professionalism with our clients, we also understand the human component in their cases. Dealing with an injury associated with negligence can be a painful process to endure. We are here to make your experience a smooth and painless one, regardless of your current circumstances.
Experienced
We have advocated for hundreds of personal injury cases and won millions of dollars for our clients. From workers’ compensation cases to vehicle accident cases, we are ready to fight for you and win the compensation you deserve.
Compassionate
We have walked in your shoes and understand the pain of an accident-related injury because we have experienced it first-hand. Because of that, we will never use your financial status as a qualifier. We will go above and beyond for you.
Invested
We realize that some of our clients may not have access to transportation, especially if your car was totaled in an accident. We will gladly send transportation to bring you back and forth to our office. If you are in no condition to travel, we will come to your house.

1. Call 911 and maintain safety
Move the car, if necessary, to protect against damage and avoid blocking traffic. Don’t let the other driver talk you out of calling 911. Don’t agree to any arrangements that don’t involve making an official accident report. Wait for the police officer to show up at the scene.
2. Comfort the injured
While waiting for the paramedics and police to arrive, make a reasonable effort to comfort others who may have been injured. Avoid making any statements that imply your own negligence, such as, “I’m sorry” or “it was my fault.”
3. Exchange information with the other driver
Some people may have outstanding traffic warrants, lack auto insurance, or have other reasons for not wanting you to know who they are. Get the other driver’s name, address, phone number, license plate number, driver’s license and insurance information. Also request the names of friends or relatives you can contact if you’re unable to reach the driver.
4. Take photographs and videos
You can never have too many pictures. If you don’t have a camera handy, use your cell phone. Don’t move anything. Record the scene exactly as it is right after the accident. If possible, have someone take pictures of your injuries.
5. Look for witnesses and get their statements
Witnesses can be passengers in your car, or independent third-parties who saw the collision from their own cars, or from where they were standing. If witnesses stop, make every attempt to get their full contact information. In addition to their contact info, ask the witnesses to write down a detailed statement of what they saw dated and signed.
6. Record your own statement
Although you may be shaken up after the accident, try to describe what happened. Make your statement as detailed as possible, without editorializing. Just include the facts. If you can’t write your statement at the scene, do it as soon as possible afterward.
7. Meet with an attorney
Call our office immediately for a consultation (704) 859-2136.
