Traffic accident lawsuits can be life-changing in so many ways. If you or a loved one was injured during a car accident and suffered traffic accident injuries, make sure you know your rights and responsibilities. And don’t go through the fight alone. Call our traffic accident lawyers for guidance through the legal process.
What should you do after a car accident?
The minutes after a traffic accident can be terrifying, confusing, and nerve-wracking. There are a few things that you should do immediately after getting in an accident to ensure a positive outcome, for both your financial and physical health:
- Ensure everyone’s safety: Make sure that you and everyone in the car with you is physically unharmed. If someone is injured, call 911 if you are able.
- Contact 9-1-1: You may want to contact 911 anyway, if police and (if necessary) ambulances are already not on site.
- File a police report: File a police report with the officer who arrives. Be sure to note the officer’s name and badge number if you are able.
- Get the other driver’s contact information: Get information from the other driver, including name, address, phone number, and insurance agency.
- Get contact information for witnesses : Seek out the names and contact information of any willing witnesses. It will be helpful, but not necessary, to record their statements on video.
- Collect photo evidence: Take pictures of the accident from a variety of angles, being sure to focus on any damage to your car as well as traffic accident injuries you or passengers may have.
- Contact a personal injury attorney: If you aren’t sure whether you need their assistance, but suspect you may want to pursue a claim for traffic accident injuries, contact them anyway. It is better to have them involved as soon as possible after an accident to maximize any settlement you may receive.
