What To Do After Getting Injured In A Car Accident

Most of the time, car accidents happen so suddenly, leaving you overwhelmed. To protect your safety and legal rights to compensation, you must take the following steps if you are still able to do so after a car crash:

• Get To Safety — If possible, move your car to the side of the road away from traffic. Alert other motorists by turning on your hazard lights while waiting for the authorities.
• Remain Calm — Be composed and attentive. Check for any injuries. When talking with the other people involved, avoid apologizing or accepting blame for the crash.
• Inform The Authorities — Call 911 and report the collision to the police. They will make an official report detailing the accident, which you can use to bolster your claim later.
• Collect Information — Exchange information with the other party and share names, contact details, and insurance information. Take pictures of the vehicles involved, as well as any damage, license plates, and your injuries.
• Don’t Take Responsibility — Give the authorities a thorough explanation of the crash, but be careful not to say anything that could be interpreted as an admission of fault.
• Seek Medical Care — Seek medical treatment as soon as you can, regardless of how minor you think your injuries are. Some symptoms do not show up right away. You will also need medical records to bolster your claim.
• Inform Your Insurance Provider — Inform your insurance company about the crash. Follow their instructions on how to report the crash properly.
• Avoid Dealing With Insurance Adjusters On Your Own — The other party’s insurance adjuster may call you, but provide them with only the basic information. Do not accept an offer, make a recorded statement, or sign anything without legal counsel.
• Keep Evidence Well-Documented — Make sure all evidence, including the police report, medical bills, the other driver’s information, and medical records, are secured.
