WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER AN ACCIDENT?

If you’ve been injured in an accident, the first thing you should do is seek medical attention. You maybe feeling okay now but the likely case is that you are in a state of shock or confusion and have an injury that won’t reveal itself until later.

The second step would be to contact first responders or local authorities. They will be able to take true assesments of the scene and acquire information from you and anyone else involved or a witness to the events. This information is very important evidence to your potential case. You should also collect photos and videos as possible and get any witnesses contact information.

It is very important that you not admit fault or apologize, or for that matter even speaking to the other person or person involved in the accident. Anything you say after an accident can be used against you in a later claim or lawsuit. If you think the other party is at fault, set up a consultation with a personal injury lawyer to discuss your options. The first consultation with us is free of charge.
