Important Steps to Take After Being Involved in a Car Accident
- Obtain the name, address, license plate number and insurance information of the responsible party.
- Contact emergency personnel and request that the police perform a full investigation and prepare an accident report.
- Promptly seek medical attention if there is any question as to whether you’ve been injured.
- If there are witnesses in the area, try to talk to those individuals, get their contact information and make certain that the investigating officers are aware of any witnesses.
- If you are able and you have a cell phone or a camera, take photos of the scene, all cars involved in the accident, and your injuries.
- Keep a journal of the incident, your treatment and your limitations following the accident. As time passes and the memory of the incident fades, a clear recall of the events that caused the crash and the pain and inconveniences in the aftermath of the accident is important.
- Your health and well-being should always be your top priority. But after you have been treated and released, do your research, and find an experienced car accident attorney. He or she should be skilled in personal injury law and able to speak to you about preserving your rights and protecting your interests.
- Remember that you are under no obligation to contact the other driver’s insurance company, provide any statements (other than to the investigating officers) or sign any forms until you have consulted with an experienced attorney.
