Take The Right Steps After A Car Accident

After a motor vehicle accident, your health is the top priority. Seek immediate medical attention if necessary; otherwise, we recommend taking the following steps:

  1. Call the police. Always call the police after an accident to secure an official accident report. This will be necessary when you file either an insurance or a personal injury claim.
  2. Take pictures. Use a camera or smartphone to take pictures of all property damage, the scene of the accident and any visible injuries. This can be used as evidence to support your claim.
  3. Exchange information. Exchange names and insurance information with the other party.
  4. Speak with witnesses. If anyone witnessed the accident, ask for their name and contact information. This information may be important to verify a claim.
  5. Seek medical attention. If you did not call for emergency care, visit a medical professional and undergo a thorough exam as soon as possible. Some severe injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries, may not show symptoms until days after the accident.
  6. Call a personal injury attorney. Discuss your case with an experienced lawyer. An attorney can help you communicate with insurers to protect your case and help you determine whether you should pursue a personal injury claim.
