What to Do After a Car Accident
If you are in a car accident, you should first notify the police and accept medical treatment. Even if it appears that you are not injured or that your injuries are minor, you should still undergo an examination. Some injury symptoms do not present until days or weeks after the injury. Documentation by a medical professional on the scene can serve as valuable evidence.
Next, you should contact an attorney and begin collecting all the information you can. You should record names, addresses, phone numbers, and insurance information from any other drivers involved in the accident. If there are any passengers in other vehicles, it is advisable to take down their information as well. You should also take any opportunity to photograph the accident. Take pictures of the overall scene of the accident and vehicle locations. Take pictures of any damage to each vehicle, not just yours. It can also be helpful to take a photo of the license plates of each vehicle involved.
If you were involved in an accident with or inside a Lyft or Uber vehicle, make sure you collect their information as well and report it to the appropriate ride-sharing app.
A member of our team can begin investigating your accident immediately. In the meantime, take great care to avoid speaking to the other driver or anyone representing him or her (such as an insurance adjuster) about the accident. It is important to remember that these parties have their own interests to protect, and they will certainly take note of anything you say that could be interpreted as an admission of any responsibility for the accident. If these parties ask you questions about the accident, tell them to speak to your attorney.
