Immediately following a car wreck, it can be difficult to know what to do next while your mind is racing. You or another party may have suffered injuries, and either of you could be questioning who’s at fault. Additionally, there might be extensive damage to either vehicle. When you are involved in an auto accident, you need to follow these four steps. STEPS YOU NEED TO TAKE AFTER A VEHICLE ACCIDENT CALL 911 Police and other emergency personnel can assess injuries, gather information, and make sure the details of the accident are recorded. They also can clear the area of other cars and civilians, ensuring everyone is safe while you compose yourself. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION A doctor can help determine the extent of your injuries and provide documentation for your treatment. Waiting to see a physician prompts insurance companies to question the severity of your pain or, worse, claim that it doesn’t relate to your accident. What’s more, some injuries take days or even weeks to surface. Typically these are soft tissue injuries, including knee anterior cruciate ligament tears, whiplash, and rotator cuff tears. Common symptoms of these injuries include neck pain, tingling in the shoulder, blurry vision, and reduced mobility. GATHER INFORMATION & EVIDENCE Taking photos of the scene, collecting names and contact information of involved parties and witnesses, and possibly acquiring any video recordings of your accident can be crucial to your case. After your accident, taking photos with your smartphone is a quick and easy way to collect information. When doing this, make sure you’re taking pictures of both cars, including their license plates. If there are any witnesses, make sure to get their names, addresses, and phone numbers. CONTACT AN ATTORNEY After an auto accident, you need the assistance of a knowledgeable attorney you trust. Dealing with physical injuries and insurance companies takes a toll on your well- being. Having proven attorneys to help guide you through the process will take some of that burden off of your shoulders and help you navigate your path forward.
