What To Do After A Car Accident

Although car accidents cannot be predicted, everyone should prepare for them. Keep a checklist in your car’s glove compartment to stay organized after an accident. It can advise you on what to do and avoid and how to preserve your rights. You can follow the following guidelines.

• Maintain your calm and avoid admitting responsibility. Stay where you are to keep everyone safe. Before assisting others, inspect yourself for injuries.
• To report your collision, dial 911. Call the police unless the collision was minimal, with no injuries or property damage. The police can interview witnesses, collect evidence, and write a report regarding the incident.
• Gather information from all parties involved. Take careful notes of the occurrence, including the weather, road conditions, and any injuries you suffered.
• Under no circumstances, including with the police, should you accept fault. Give the officer an honest explanation of what happened.
• Seek medical assistance. Consult a specialist or your health care provider. Receiving timely medical attention can reduce injury severity.
• Notify your insurance carrier. California insurance companies have varying accident reporting dates.
• Speak with an insurance adjuster. You can contact a claims adjuster, but ensure you provide them with all the necessary information. You should not accept a settlement offer or consent to a recorded statement from an insurance company unless you have first consulted a lawyer.
• Make a file. Collect and file all paperwork relevant to the occurrence in a case file. This includes the police report, medical bills, and injury treatment plans.
• Seek quick legal advice from a renowned California automobile accident attorney.
