What to Do After an Accident:

1.      Call the Police: Report the incident to local police. The responding officer can file an official police report and help determine who was at fault. In the case of injury, you are required to report the accident to law enforcement.

2.      Take Pictures of the Damage: It’s important to document the damage caused by the collision at the scene. Use your cell phone to take photos of the damage to your vehicle and any injuries you may have sustained. This helps to accurately determine the amount of physical damage caused by the accident.

3.      Obtain Information: Make sure to acquire the contact and insurance information of all parties involved. This includes but is not limited to the driver of the other vehicle(s), the responding officers, and any witnesses.

4.      Seek Medical Treatment: If you are injured, call an ambulance or visit the closest hospital or emergency care facility. This important step will help establish the seriousness of your injuries immediately following the accident.

5. Call an Attorney: Contact your lawyer before making any statements to an insurance representative. Your attorney will deal with the insurance companies on your behalf while you focus on treating and healing your injuries
