What To Do Immediately After You Are Involved In An Car Accident
A car accident can happen at any time, knowing what to do in a stressful situation will protect you from further damage to any legal claim you may make the future. Even though your heart will be racing and your emotion will spike, follow these simple steps to make sure you protect your safety and legal rights.
1. Pull over to the side of the rode.The first thing you should do after being in a car accident is to make sure you are not hurt. If you are able to, you can also move your car off the road and out of harm’s way. Even if there aren’t any obvious injuries, you still need to exit the car. Get out of the car as quickly as you can if you are safe but are unable to move your car out of the way. If you’re certain you’re not wounded, look for injuries in any other drivers, pedestrians, or passengers involved in the collision. Call 911 right away to get immediate medical help if anyone was harmed in the car crash.
2. Call the local or state police immediately
Calling the police does not imply that you have admitted guilt or placed the blame on the other motorist. Your best interests should be served by obtaining a police report of the collision. In the long run, it will help your insurance company and your attorney handle your accident claim. Make every attempt to help the responding officer and provide honest responses to their queries.
3. Never Admit Fault.
Your insurance provider might reject your claim if you accept blame or accountability for the mishap. In the worst case scenario, you might initially think it was your fault before realizing that the other motorist was to blame. Don’t provide any information until it is absolutely necessary, but try to be considerate and helpful. Speak only about the vehicle accident with the police, medical staff, insurance adjuster, or any other professional involved in the crash.
4. Exchange All Drivers License and Insurance Information.
Once the police have been called, you can then check on the driver and passengers of the other car(s) and begin to collect information listed below:
- The names of all the drivers and passengers involved in the accident.
- The License plates of all cars involved.
- All driver’s insurance information
- Record the make, model & year of all cars involved in the accident.
- Record the location of the accident (Streets or a highway mile maker)
- Ask the responding officer of a business card or write down his name and badge number.
- Get the names and numbers of any witnesses that saw the accident.
5. Take Clear Pictures and Video of the Accident Scene.
Take photos and video of the scene of the accident, the vehicles involved, and the damage caused by the incident. Make sure to take as many different kinds of pictures as you can to give a clear idea of what happened. Ensure that the images and video are clear.
6. Call Your Insurance Company to begin a Insurance Claim.
You should get in touch with your insurance company to report the accident after speaking with the police officer and getting all the essential contact details. Make sure all the information you have is correct, and give the insurance adjuster any information they may need. They’ll probably examine your car for damage. If you disagree with how much the insurance adjuster valued your car or how much damage it sustained, you should seek your own estimates.
7. Be Sure To Document All Your Medical Appointments and Expenses.
If you suffered injuries in a car accident, you need to pay great attention to everything. Maintain a log of your injuries, the medical professionals you’ve visited, and the treatments that were administered. One aspect of this is keeping copies of your medical bills. Note how many days you missed from work or school as a result of your injuries, as well as how you felt following the collision. While you’re healing from your injuries, keep a journal, make notes, or use a mood tracking app to record your daily emotions. It may be challenging to demonstrate “pain and suffering” if your case wind up in court.
