What To Do NOW If You Are Involved in a Car Accident
  • Take care of your injuries and get medical care.
  • Gather the names, addresses, license numbers and phone numbers of all parties and witnesses.
  • Take photos of the involved vehicles, the street, the surroundings, anything that seems important and the people involved. Use your cell phone if it has photo capability. If you can, do a video sweep of the entire accident scene.
  • Do not speak to insurance adjusters or give any statements (other than to the police) until you read our book or talk to a lawyer.
What To Do Next
  • Charge your medical expenses to your insurance.
  • Write a daily journal of your medical symptoms, time you can't work and activities you can't perform.
  • Document all of your accident-related expenses.
  • Do not sign any liens or releases of information without reading our book or speaking with an attorney.
  • Avoid tow-yard storage fees by getting your car moved as quickly as possible.
  • Take pictures of wounds, bandages, bruises, casts, hospital rooms and other evidence of injury.
  • If you are too injured to work, tell your employer and document time lost from work.
  • If you are seriously injured and need legal guidance or representation, call us at 800.315.5889.
