Motor Vehicle Accident Procedures- What should I do after an accident?
- Stop immediately. Stay calm and do what you can within reason to avoid blocking traffic.
- Check to see if anyone is injured. Administer first aid if you're qualified and it is appropriate. Don't move any person who is injured.
- Call the police and cooperate fully with the officer. Only give information necessary to explain what happened. Never admit guilt or fault.
- Take pictures of accident.
- If an insurance adjuster shows up at the scene, don't give any statements and don't sign anything except a police report.
- If possible get the names, addresses and phone numbers of witnesses. Make a mental note of what witnesses say, like, "That black car was flying."
- Visit your doctor as soon as you can after the accident.
- Inform your insurance company of the accident, but do not give any insurance adjuster, regardless of the company involved, any statement as to what happened or what your injuries are until you have contacted an attorney.
- Contact an Attorney.
Before signing any statements other than a police report, consult someone who specializes in helping those who have been injured. The Sheff Law Offices, has helped thousands of clients get the money they deserved for their injuries.
