What to do after your car accident
Every car accident is different, but often, there are steps you should take to protect your rights and well-being after a crash caused by another driver. We strongly recommend taking the following steps after your accident:
- Call the police and ask them to respond to your car accident.
- If you or anyone else thinks you’re injured, ask the police to send an ambulance.
- If you feel healthy enough to do so, get the following information from the other driver:
- Full name
- Address
- Phone number
- Insurance information
- Do not make any other comments about your accident to the other driver.
- Anything you say to the other driver could later be used against you.
- If someone saw your accident, get the witness’s full name, address and phone number.
- Take photographs of your car accident.
- Contact your insurance company after your accident.
- Tell your insurance company the other driver caused your crash.
- Do not say anything else to your insurance company.
- If the other driver’s insurance company contacts you, do not say anything.
- Refer all their questions to us. Our legal team can deal with them on your behalf.
- Contact our law firm and schedule your free case evaluation.
- Schedule a follow-up appointment with your doctor.
Make sure you take your car accident seriously right from the start. Even if you know the other driver clearly caused your crash, don’t assume anything. Protect your rights and contact our law firm as soon as possible.
