What to Do After a Car Accident
The steps you take in the hours and days following a car accident can directly impact the value of your claim. Our car accident attorneys recommend the following:
Step 1: Call 911 Immediately
Report the accident to law enforcement and request medical assistance. A police report is a critical piece of evidence in your case.
Step 2: Seek Medical Attention Right Away
Even if you feel fine, see a doctor as soon as possible. Injuries like whiplash, concussions, and internal bleeding may not show symptoms immediately. A gap in medical treatment can be used by insurance companies to deny or reduce your claim.
Step 3: Document the Scene
Take photos and videos of the vehicles, road conditions, traffic signals, skid marks, and any visible injuries. Gather the names and contact information of all witnesses.
Step 4: Do Not Admit Fault or Give a Recorded Statement
Be polite at the scene, but do not apologize or admit any wrongdoing. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance adjuster without first speaking to a car accident lawyer.
Step 5: Contact a Car Accident Attorney
Before accepting any settlement offer, speak with one of our experienced car accident attorneys. Insurance companies routinely offer lowball settlements to unrepresented victims. We will evaluate your case for free and advise you on the true value of your claim.
