What to Do After a Car Accident

Being involved in a car accident can be overwhelming, but knowing the right steps to take can help protect your health, legal rights, and any potential claims for compensation.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you handle the immediate aftermath of an accident in a way that protects your well-being and your interests:

Protect Yourself

Your safety and the safety of others involved should be your top priority. If you’re able to do so, move your vehicle to the side of the road. If anyone is injured, call 911 right away and avoid moving anyone unless there is an immediate danger, like a fire or traffic hazard.

Call the Police

Even for minor accidents, you should contact the police to report what happened. A police report provides an official record of the incident, which can be very helpful for our office when we get involved. The police report carries great weight with insurance companies and, when necessary, the courts.

Remember, the less said, the better. Be factual when talking to the officers but avoid casual statements that could be taken as an admission of fault. Even a simple statement can be misunderstood.

Gather Evidence at the Scene

Collect as much information as you can while you’re still at the accident scene. Take photos of the vehicles, their positions, any visible damage, and the surrounding area, including traffic signs or skid marks. Exchange information with the other driver(s), including their name, contact info, insurance details, and license plate number. If there are witnesses nearby, get their names and contact information as well.

Seek Medical Attention

Even if you feel fine, it’s imperative to see a doctor as soon as possible after the accident. Some injuries, like whiplash or internal damage, may not show symptoms. A medical evaluation creates a record that may directly link your injuries to the accident. If the connection between your injuries and the accident becomes a source of dispute, the doctor’s report—like the police report—is a respected source of information.

Inform Your Insurance Company

Notify your insurance company about the accident, even if it wasn’t your fault. Provide them with the basic facts but refrain from giving a detailed statement until you fully understand the nature of your injuries and the damage to your vehicle. Stick to the basics, and don’t go beyond that before talking with us.

Call Frank S. Buck, P.C.

We can help protect your rights, negotiate with insurance companies, and work towards getting you fair compensation for your injuries, property damage, and other losses.
