5 STEPS To Take After a Car Accident To Protect You Legal Rights

1

PULL OVER AND CALL 911.

When you are involved in a car accident, you need to immediately pull over out of the line of traffic, if possible. If you or anyone else involved in the accident is seriously injured, you should call 911.

2

EXCHANGE INFORMATION. Without sufficient information about the parties involved in the accident, it may be difficult to hold the right parties accountable for your injuries and obtain the full compensation that you deserve. You should make sure to exchange names, address, telephone number, insurance information and driver’s license information with all of the parties involved in the accident. If there are any witnesses to the accident, you should obtain their personal information as well.

3

TAKE PICTURES OF THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT As the saying goes, pictures are worth a thousand words. The details of the accident scene, such as damage to all of the cars involved in the accident, skid marks and the surrounding scene of the accident, is especially important if liability is disputed.

4

SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT. Even if you think that you are not seriously injured immediately after the accident, you should still seek medical treatment. Symptoms of certain medical conditions may not surface until days or weeks after an accident.

5

CONSULT WITH AN EXPERIENCED CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEY It is in your best interest to consult with an attorney to protect your legal rights. When you hire a good attorney, you can be confident that your attorney will handle the legal aspects of your claim while you concentrate on healing your injuries.
