What To Do When You Get In A Car Accident

When the unthinkable happens to you it can leave you feeling totally lost. Don’t let an auto accident or any motor vehicle accident ruin your day. Luckily there is a correct way to deal with an auto accident that will leave you feeling whole again.

Step 1: Call for emergency medical services if anyone from either party is injured. Do not minimize your injuries as some motor vehicle injuries are not always immediately apparent.

Step 2: Take photo and video evidence to document the damage. The more evidence you have from the scene of the accident will be better for you in the long run. It is also crucial that you exchange insurance information with all parties involved. Important information includes the names, addresses, phone numbers, and details from the other parties including any witnesses such as bystanders and even first responders.

Step 3: Give copies of the accident details – names, addresses, phone numbers of witnesses – to the investigating police officer, your personal injury attorney, and be sure to keep a safe copy of these records for yourself.

Step 4: A common mistake people make is that they post evidence to social media. Avoid doing this because insurance companies now comb through social media looking for any inconsistencies, which can be used against you in a court case.

Step 5: Contact a personal injury lawyer immediately to make sure that you are protected and that you get the best advise on what to do with the legal matters regarding your motor vehicle accident.
