Important Steps to Take When in a Car Accident
Seek prompt medical attention.
Cooperate with law enforcement and medical personnel at the scene. Clearly explain your injuries. If you are not immediately transported to the hospital, see your doctor or physician as soon as possible. Medical treatment helps to heal your injuries and also documents your injuries, which helps to build your case.
Take photographs of the scene.
Take photographs of the scene of the auto accident, all vehicles involved, and if possible, any physical injuries sustained in the accident. Taking photographs of the entire scene of the accident enables attorneys to more effectively negotiate your case.
Pay attention.
Pay attention to what the at-fault party says or admits at the accident scene. Ask the at-fault party what they believe may have caused the accident. Typically, their answers can be used in court at a later time.
Cooperate with law enforcement.
Take notes regarding what the police officer said about the cause of the accident. If the officer issued a citation, find out who the citation was issued to and the reason for the citation. If possible obtain a copy of the police report and keep it for your records.
Seek legal advice.
Do not talk to any insurance representative (except from your own company). If an insurance adjustor asks to record your answers to their questions, refuse if you have not obtained the guidance of one of our experienced attorneys first. Insurance companies often encourage you to admit some portion of fault, like conceding that you were speeding or talking on your cell phone.
Be patient.
Remember, your health is what is most important. Your injuries will take time to heal. Consistently follow the treatment plan your physicians outline with the goal in mind of becoming pain free.
