Did you know car accidents comprise a majority of personal injury claims in the United States. It is not surprising that according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that every 10 seconds someone in the U.S. is involved in a car accident.
After an accident here are some steps a person should take. This information can be invaluable.
1. Stay at the scene of the accident. (The only exception is if you are hit by another car in a deserted place
and it may be unsafe for you to get out. In that situation, drive to the nearest police station and report
the accident.)
2. Check to make sure everyone in the accident is alright; and, if necessary, get medical attention for them.
3. You may need to call the police if there is significant property damage, physical injury, or death. If police officers arrive at the scene of the accident, ask that they file a police report and get their names and badge numbers.
4. Exchange necessary information. Talk to the drivers of any other vehicles involved in the accident. Determine that everyone is O.K. Get their names, phone numbers, addresses, drivers’ license numbers, and license plate numbers. If there are any passengers in the cars; get their names, phone numbers, and addresses as well.
5. If possible, talk to any witnesses and ask them what they saw. Get their names, phone numbers, and addresses too. Write down what they told you.
6. As soon as possible contact your insurance company and tell them you’ve been in an accident. Cooperate with them and do not lie about anything. Be able to explain to them the situation in a clear and concise manner.
7. Keep track of your medical treatment.
8. Take pictures of your vehicle after the accident. If you have before pictures of your car use those also.
9. Get a property damage valuation from your insurance company. If you are not satisfied, get two estimates for the repair of your car yourself.
10. Only discuss the accident with your attorney, your insurance company, and the police.
11. If you are offered an early settlement offer, be wary. Don’t settle a claim until you know you will be fully compensated for all your injuries.
