Obviously, if you have had an accident, and you are reading all of this advice, it’s probably been at least a few days since the accident. However, if it’s only been a few hours or if you ever have another accident, here’s what you should do the next time from the start.

 

First, take a look around and determine if you or anyone, are hurt. If so, taking steps like trying to prevent further injury or loss of blood are the most important thing you can do. Even if some other driver caused you to be injured, it’s just good manners to help the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they admit their fault to you. The worst thing you can do is get angry or start a fight.

 

Second, make sure everyone is safe from being injured further. If you are in the middle of traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down away from traffic. If your vehicle is a traffic hazard and you have accident warning devices like flares or triangles, put them out on the road to warn other drivers and get away from the car. Let the police an other emergency personnel investigate the scene with the vehicles in place and move them more safely at a later point.

 

Third, call the police. Accident reports are extremely helpful if the police will do such a report. Let the police know you are injured immediately. Answer the police questions honestly. But if you are dazed or confused, let them know you need medical treatment and answer only what you feel sure about. Remember, your statements can and will be used against you if you admit fault, and it will be too late and too fishy to later say you didn’t know what you were saying at the scene. Police know that your best recollection is immediately after an accident.

 

Fourth, get the other driver’s information including their names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, make and model of their vehicles, license plate numbers, and their insurance company name and policy number. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and telephone numbers as well. If the other driver makes any admissions of fault, write those down as well.

 

Fifth, if you have a camera on your cell phone or in the car and you aren’t too injured, take some photos of the vehicles and the scene. If you can’t do it right away, do it after you are released from the hospital.

Sixth, if you are hurt, obtain medical treatment. Don’t decline the ambulance or hospital examination to save your insurance company money or to be stoic. Take your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the hospital. If you are not hurt, don’t get treatment you don’t need. However, remember, after an accident, you may feel a rush of adrenaline that causes you to only start feeling symptoms of pain a few hours later. If you have a health plan that requires you to obtain permission first, call them and find out where you are allowed to seek treatment.

 

Seventh, call a good motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as you have had your initial treatment, so the attorney can gather other important evidence and prevent the insurance company from taking advantage of you and obtaining such things as recorded statements that you feel fine, when many of your symptoms have yet to manifest themselves. A good motorcycle accident lawyer can save you from making a great deal of mistakes and can shoulder much of the hassle of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, medical treatment, witness statements and the like. If you think you will save money by not having an attorney, think again. A good motorcycle accident lawyer can almost always obtain much higher settlements, obtain reductions of medical bills and insurance liens and prevent you from making costly mistakes. Also, most motorcycle accident attorneys advance costs of obtaining police reports, medical records and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these costs only out of any settlement.

 

Eight, you will need to report the accident to your insurance company, but since they will want to take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver’s insurance company, it’s good advice to retain an attorney first. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your own insurance company that will be your adversary. You will also need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your lawyer can give you the form for this.

 

Ninth, do not agree to settle your claim privately with the person at fault for the accident. This almost never works out to your advantage. Don’t agree not to call the police. Police reports that determine the fault for an accident are golden. Your agreement to not involve the police only affords an opportunity for the other driver to change his story and blame you when the police will no longer investigate the accident.

 

Tenth, don’t pay a traffic ticket without a fight if you weren’t at fault or agree to accept a small payment for your vehicle repairs without knowing that the amount will in fact cover the cost of all the repairs.

About how much would it cost to replace all 3 pickups & fix the neck on a Gibson Flying V?

My Flying V has seen some damage in the past couple weeks.... and I have come to the conclusion that I need to replace all 3 pickups, trust me I'm not going to do it by myself I don't trust myself enough to do that. I am also think I might want to get the neck fixed too cuzz it's a bit warped and that is my fault from lack of tuning and playing.

It's my most prized guitar, of which you probably wouldn't understand seeing as its like dead right now.... but it has a solid mahogany body and it is wicked pretty I would hate to see it be tossed away or sold really cheap
Yeah it's 3 humbuckers one by the bridge one in the middle and one by the neck

And I mean I do play in a band, but we just do local shows so.... it's not like people would notice anyway seeing as the sound normally sucks where we play

hey J, did you get to the Doc about your issue you know what I am talking about. what kind of pickups are they do they look like 2 single coil pickups put together? its called a Humbucker. or 3 single coil pickups I am guessing 3 humbuckers one by the bridge one in the middle and one by the neck, well let me see if I can find some decent pickups not too expensive kind its not like you playing professional right now well at least to my knowledge. in the mean time leave tell me yes or no to my questions in details, so be right back.

EDIT: okay J I could not find really any good deals so your looking at a lot of money I recommend the Dimarzio PAF DP103 it the cheapest they have for a decent quality and that's a humbucker and they are any ware from 60 to $65 so 3 of those and after labor your looking $230 or $250 somewhere around there. so yeah its a lot if I were you I would call a music store a self owned one NOT GUITAR CENTER they will charge you college tuition for the whole job including product and ask to see if they have any Stock pickups for less price and see how much they would charge for the whole thing or just put one in the bridge position and leave the rest for now
