What To Do If You Are Involved In An Auto Accident

If you or someone you know has been injured in an accident, it’s important that you follow a few guidelines, including the following:

• Do not apologize to the other party or admit fault or liability.
• Be civil with all parties involved.
• Record and remember as much as you can about the incident, the injuries you sustained, and other losses you’ve suffered as a result.

• To aid in proving your case, write down the names of any witnesses that were at the scene or that arrived shortly thereafter.
• Preserve and collect physical evidence through photographs when possible.
• Seek medical treatment for recovery, but also to document injury.
• Contact your insurance carrier and an experienced lawyer as soon as possible to protect evidence, ensure witnesses are contacted, and help you better recollect memories.
