What to Do After an Accident
Many people ask what types of actions they should take in the event they are in a car accident. Every accident has its own set of challenges, but there are three important things you can do following almost any motor vehicle accident:
- The first, and most important step, is to ensure the safety of everyone involved. If medical attention is needed, make sure that all injured persons are stabilized and that emergency personnel has been called.
- Next, gather information. Ask for names, phone numbers and insurance information from other drivers, passengers and witnesses. If you have a mobile device with a camera or video, you can use this to record information about the scene.
- Finally, contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the accident. Provide the information, but do not agree to a settlement or sign any paperwork until you have had the chance to talk with an experienced personal injury attorney.
