You’ve been in a car accident. What do you do next? You may be disoriented, in shock, or injured, but there are several crucial steps you need to take. 1. Immediately after the accident, take care of yourself and any passengers who might be injured. Then take pictures of all damaged vehicles as well as any wounds or injuries you or others have sustained, if possible. 2. Do not make statements to anyone about your injuries. Without professional care, you may be completely oblivious to certain injuries after a wreck. Often, pain doesn’t set in until later, after your adrenaline has subsided.

Contact your insurance company to establish a claim and contact the other driver's insurance company. Never assume the other party is going to do any of this. 5. Keep constant tabs on how you feel. Write down every detail, including aches and pains. These details may be helpful as you build a case. 6. Make and keep your treatment appointments. Your doctor’s office keeps track of everything. They know when you skip or reschedule appointments. Skipping out can be very detrimental to your case, regardless of the reason behind the missed appointments.
7. Speak with an attorney. Whether you call from the side of the road or from your home the following day, an attorney will guide you through the next steps. Tell them the facts of the accident and what your treatment plan is and show them all the pictures you took. Some cases might not need an attorney, but most do. Navigating the legal maze after an accident isn’t easy, and we are more than happy to help you through this difficult process.
