What Should You Do if You’re in A Car Accident?
Getting in a car accident can be a difficult experience to go through. If you’ve been in a motor vehicle accident, whether it's a fender bender or a major car wreck, you can benefit from knowing how to handle a car accident.
Call For Help
Call 911 after you’ve been in a car accident. First responders will arrive at the scene of the accident. They’ll quickly assess the situation and help you receive medical attention. Even if you’re not immediately feeling pain or don’t have any obvious injuries, it’s still in your best interest to be treated by a medical professional.
File A Police Report
It’s important that you file a police report to make sure that you have everything on an official record. The police will also handle the scene if one of the involved parties is acting strangely or under the influence. Documentation of your medical treatment is important should you choose to file a personal injury claim. It’ll serve as evidence in your case.
Take Photos of The Scene
It’s also key that you take pictures to document the scene. This can be done with your smartphone. Take pictures of your vehicle as well as the other vehicles that were in the car accident. Capturing the damages you’ve received is key in the documentation of the event.
Collect Information
Collect the names and contact information for any witnesses who saw the collision. You cannot have too many witnesses, and they may not all have seen the same thing.
