WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT:
Report the accident to local law enforcement and insist upon an accident crash report before leaving the scene.
- Seek immediate medical attention, even if you think you are not injured. Being involved in a car accident can result in severe shock, so any injuries may not be immediately apparent.
- Get the license number, personal and insurance details, and name of the other driver involved (take pictures).
- Ask for names and phone numbers of any witnesses present at the accident scene.
- Take pictures of your injuries and all damages as soon as possible.
- Never admit fault, guilt or liability.
Whether the accident occurred from careless or reckless driving, DUI, or by an unlicensed, uninsured driver, or if you were a passenger or a pedestrian makes no difference. The results of these accidents are often tragic enough, so take that extra step to obtain legal counsel as
soon as possible.
