Steps To Take Following A Car Accident

A car accident may occur in the blink of an eye, and in that split second it can cause that person’s life to change entirely.

Fortunately, there are steps a person can take after an accident to avoid further hardship once the scene has been cleared and everybody has left.

The following includes some simple steps to take following a traffic collision which can also help accident victims to keep calm and relaxed, knowing that they have a plan of action in place:

Check for injuries
Call 911 to report injuries
Report collision to the police
Take pictures and videos of the scene
Write down all information leading to the collision
Move your vehicle to a safe location
Exchange driver information
Exchange witness information
Never admit fault or blame accident on anyone
Never speak with anyone other than police regarding the accident
Provide accurate police report and obtain copy of the report
Obtain medical attention following the accident
Notify your insurance agency of accident
Contact an experienced car accident attorney

It is essential to preserve a thorough record and notes following a car accident for future referral. This information may be used by a lawyer to establish a strong case against a negligent person or entity that caused the accident.

It is also necessary not to sign any documents after the accident without speaking with an attorney, as this information could be used as counteraction in the court of law.

From the start to the finish line and beyond this firm has walked side by side and even run with me and my wife. We highly recommend this awesome team. Try them and see for yourself. You will be pleased.

A couple of years ago, I was in an automobile accident. Another driver ignored a red light. At first, I believed I was fine and actually decided against seeing an attorney. A few months later, I began to have a lot of physical problems, and I started to wonder if I had made a mis-judgment. A friend strongly recommended that I call Simien & Simien, LLC. Making that phone call was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From the intake staff to the attorney assigned to my case, everyone at Simien & Simien, LLC, was courteous, reassuring and professional. It took a while, but the case was settled in my favor. I have nothing but praise for my lawyers, and I highly, and most enthusiastically recommend Simien & Simien, LLC. Thank you!
