5 Steps To Follow After An Accident

1.  YES, CALL THE POLICE.

For insurance purposes, it is important to document who was at fault for the accident.  Also, you need the police report to make a Property Damage claim or Personal Injury claim.

 2.    GET MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

Go to the hospital or see your family doctor right away.  If you don't, your insurance company may not want to pay for your medical treatment, if it is later needed.

 3. TAKE PICTURES.

Take pictures as soon after the accident as you can of:   

¨ You and your injuries

¨ Your car damage

¨ The accident scene

 4.  DON’T TALK TO INSURANCE COMPANIES.

The other driver's insurance company frequently calls to "ask you some questions" or to "give a statement."  Don't do it.  First talk to your lawyer. 

But you must report the accident to your own insurance company, within 30 days. 

5.  CALL YOUR LAWYER.

Your lawyer will give you the best and most appropriate advice to protect your rights at this particularly trying time.
