What to Do After a Car Accident

Despite the unpredictability of car accidents, everyone can prepare for them. To keep yourself composed after an accident, keep a checklist in your car’s glove compartment. It can guide you on what to do, what to avoid, and how to protect your rights. You can follow these guidelines:

• Keep calm and avoid admitting fault. Stay where you are to ensure nobody gets hurt. You should check yourself for injuries before helping others.
• Call 911 to report your collision. Unless the accident was minor, there were no injuries, and there was no property damage, call the police. The police can interview witnesses, gather proof, and compile a report about the incident.
• Exchange information with all parties involved. Record every detail of the incident, including the weather, road conditions, and any injuries you sustained.
• Do not admit fault under any circumstances, even to the police. Give the police officer your completely honest account of events.
• Seek medical attention. See a specialist or your primary care physician as soon as possible. Receiving immediate medical care can lessen the severity of injuries.
• Report it to your insurance company. Insurance companies in California have different deadlines for reporting accidents.
• Speak to insurance adjusters. You can contact a claims adjuster, but remember to give them the necessary information. If you haven’t consulted an attorney first, you shouldn’t accept a settlement offer or agree to a recorded statement from an insurance company.
• Create a file. Gather and file all paperwork related to the incident, such as the police report, medical bills, and plans for treating any injuries, in a case file.
• Seek immediate legal counsel from a reliable California car accident lawyer.
