It is the bane of our morning commute. It can ruin an otherwise good week, wreak havoc on our checkbook and perhaps leave us with some nagging neck pain – or worse.

But let’s rewind.

In the moments immediately following a fender bender, there are a crucial list of actions you should take to minimize future headaches, hassles and expenses.

• You should call 911 (even if no one appears to be injured, calling 911 is recommended by 911.gov which states that you should call after “a car crash, especially if someone is injured.”
• You should trade insurance information. What if the other party has no insurance information? That’s one reason why you should call 911.
• Take photos. Your smartphone’s camera is good for things other than the kids’ recitals. Put it to good use here.

But should you call me?

Typically, a lawyer may not be a prudent phone call to make if no one is seriously hurt and you take the steps above to file a complete police report.

That being said, I’ve included below some advice on when it may be the right move to contact someone for a little legal advice.

• Hire a lawyer if you have to stay overnight in the hospital or if you suffer from any serious injury as a result of the accident. This could include permanent scarring, loss of a limb or loss of bodily function (such as excessive back or neck pain or a knee injury). You should also hire an attorney if you require long-term care as a result of your injuries.

• You may also want to consult with an attorney if the police report does not clearly state which driver is at fault.

Please remember to always drive safely and if you are involved in an accident large or small, work very hard to remain calm and keep your wit about you. Your level head and rational thinking will help make this bad situation a little more manageable for everyone involved.

But when does a little loud music, unkempt grass or a rambunctious spaniel cross the threshold beyond mere nuisance and become a potential legal matter?

As a property owner, you have the right to use and enjoy your home and property reasonably and without unreasonable interference by others. Acts of “unreasonable interference” may also be referred to as private nuisance – to distinguish them from acts of public nuisance – and may be any number of a variety of activities that result in or cause the following:

• Noise
• Odors
• Dust and smoke
• Pollution of air or water
• Bugs, rodents, and other pests
• Explosions and other vibrations
• Illness
• Crime
• Light

The real question is, do you need a lawyer to help convince your neighbor to act more neighborly?

Perhaps. But start with a more direct approach.

Open a dialogue. Have a conversation with your neighbor in a serious but non-confrontational manner. Many times this kind of conversation can lead to an understanding and put an end to the behaviors you find disturbing.

Should this have no positive effect, it may be time to either call the police – which may not have as substantial an impact as you perhaps wish unless the actions of your neighbor are criminal – or to ask a lawyer like me to help you first craft a letter encouraging them to curb their behavior and second, study your complaint against local nuisance laws to try and build a case against them.

So, is it time to bring in some assistance to help ensure that you and your family can live happier and more peaceful lives in your own home? If you believe it is, contact me so that we may discuss the options we have available to you.
