What to Do After a Car Accident

After a car crash, it’s critical to report it to the authorities immediately. Whether dealing with law enforcement or an insurance company, it’s critical to tell the truth and not make assumptions. If an accident victim apologizes for what happened, even if they are not at fault, the insurance company may refuse to pay damages.
