FOLLOW THESE STEPS AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT WRECKED
A wreck happens so fast, but in the minutes after a car accident, time may feel like it’s standing still. Questions race through your mind: “Is everyone okay?” “Is my car okay?” “How did this happen?” If there’s any uncertainty as to who’s at fault in the accident, there are important steps you need to take in those minutes immediately after an accident that could save you thousands of dollars and a lot of worry. We hope you never find yourself in this situation, but if you are involved in a wreck, it’s important to know what to do. 2. Call the police. The police will want to file an incident report. If you don’t speak the language, this is when you should call a friend or somebody who can help translate. You’ll want to make sure the police officer understands exactly what happened. Otherwise, he or she will not have a clear picture of what happened, and misinformation could affect their attempt to decide who is at fault for the accident. The other driver involved may try to change their story, or they may not clearly remember how the wreck occurred. So it’s important to make sure your version of the events is clearly documented. If you are injured, let the police officer know. Do not be afraid to take the ambulance and get treatment. The longer you go without treatment, the weaker your case is. 1. Make sure everyone, including yourself, is okay. If anyone is in need of medical assistance, call an ambulance.
3. Start taking pictures. This includes pictures of the damage to your car, the other car, and anything at the scene of the accident. These may be used by your lawyer as evidence to show an insurance company that you are not at fault. From there, call the immigration and injury attorneys. We’ll make sure your rights are protected and you get the treatment you need. If you’re worried that you can’t pay for medical services out-of-pocket, we have great connections with doctors who are willing to provide treatment on a lien basis. Once your case is settled, the doctor will be paid from the settlement.
