What To Do If You’ve Been In A Car Accident
If you or a loved one has been in a car accident, there are a few steps you can take right away:
- Stop right away. Do not leave the scene of an accident, no matter how minor it is.
- Call the police. You may need a police report to file a claim with your insurance company.
- Seek medical attention. Often, injuries from car accidents are not immediate. You could feel the impact hours or days later.
- Keep accurate records. Be sure to tell the police officer exactly what happened. Take notes, if possible. Do not speculate or make claims. Start to create a file to maintain your records.
- Take pictures. If you have a camera or mobile phone in your vehicle, take as many photos as possible. Take pictures of all vehicles involved in the accident.
- Exchange information. The police officer may obtain this information. However, you may also want to communicate with the other driver directly. Exchange names, telephone numbers, addresses, and insurance information with the other party.
- Seek witnesses. If anyone is nearby who witnessed the accident, find out if you can also get their contact information for future reference.
- Report the accident. Contact your insurance company to report the accident and provide immediate details only.
Contact an attorney. If your car accident resulted in serious injury with a negligent party, contact a personal injury attorney nearby to get a case evaluation. There is typically no cost.
