Tips for When Involved in a Car Accident
When you are involved in a car accident it is important to make sure you collect as much information at the time of the accident in order to help support your claim for bodily injury and/or property damage against the other driver’s insurance company. Insurance Companies are notorious for denying claims of injured persons when they try to claim the injured person may not have enough evidence to prove the other driver (their insured) is at fault. Collecting as much information at the time of the accident may help you and your car accident attorney when it comes time to submit your claim to the insurance company, and it’s as easy as grabbing your cell phone and start documenting everything you can.
Below we will outline some helpful tips to remember when you or someone you know may be involved in a car accident:
Take photographs of the position of your car, the position of the other driver’s car, the road/intersection, traffic lights, stop signs, and other objects you may think played a role in the collision.
Take photographs of the damage done to your car and the other driver’s car.
Take photographs of the damage done to any personal property inside the vehicle.
Record the conversations you have with the other driver and any witnesses.
Write down all witness information, including phone numbers and addresses.
Make note of any businesses that surround the area of the accident in order to check for video surveillance of the wreck.
Make note of any symptoms you feel immediately following the accident and during the days that follow.
Report any injury or symptom, no matter how small you may think it is at the time of the accident.
Call law enforcement and provide all details about the wreck immediately.
Contact a top accident attorney to discuss your claim.
