What Should You Do After a Car Accident?
When accidents occur, there’s no telling what the impact will be on each individual. Even minor accidents where there is little damage can have a real effect on an individual. It’s important that, as much as possible, everyone remains calm and takes the necessary steps following an accident.
- Firstly, make sure you are safe. Wait somewhere where you are not putting yourself in further danger.
- Use your phone to take photographs of the scene of the accident and any surrounding hazards.
- Gather as much information from witnesses as possible. Try to record their names, contact information, and anecdotal notes on what they saw happen.
- When you can, write out your recollection of the sequence of events. Be as detailed as possible. Take your time doing this as it is important.
- Contact an experienced personal injury lawyer for advice.
There are important timelines that need to be adhered to. It’s often a good idea to speak with a lawyer before you call your insurance company. They can advise on the best approach to make sure you and your family are protected.
