Involved in an Auto-Accident? Here is what you should do:
1. Ensure safety: Move your vehicle to a safe location, if possible, to avoid blocking traffic and to prevent further accidents or injuries.
2. Check for injuries: First, check yourself and any passengers in your vehicle for injuries. If anyone is injured, call emergency services immediately for medical assistance.
3. Contact the authorities: Call the police or emergency services, depending on the severity of the accident and the local regulations. It's important to have an official report of the accident for insurance purposes.
4. Exchange information: Exchange contact and insurance information with the other parties involved in the accident. Gather details such as names, phone numbers, addresses, license plate numbers, and insurance policy information. If there are witnesses, try to get their contact information as well.
5. Document the scene: If it is safe to do so, take photos or videos of the accident scene. Capture the position of the vehicles, damage sustained, skid marks, and any relevant details. This evidence can be helpful for insurance claims and legal purposes.
6. Notify your insurance company: Report the accident to your insurance company as soon as possible. Provide them with accurate and detailed information about the incident. They will guide you through the claims process and explain what documentation is required.
7. Seek medical attention: Give us a call at Comprehensive Accident and Injury Center to schedule for a same day evaluation to assess any injuries that may have occurred, including concussions.
8. Keep records: Maintain a file with all the records related to the accident, including medical bills, repair receipts, insurance correspondence, and any other relevant documents. This will help you during the claims process.
9. Consult an attorney: Our team works closely with Personal Injury Attorneys in the area and can assist you in finding the right person for you. They can provide legal guidance, protect your rights, and help you navigate the legal process if needed.
10. Follow up: Stay in touch with your insurance company and healthcare providers. Keep track of your medical treatment and any ongoing issues related to the accident. Maintain communication with the other party involved, if necessary.
