Four Steps to Take After An Auto Accident

When you’re in an auto accident and your emotions are running high, it can be difficult to remember the proper procedures to follow to effectively resolve the accident.

Below are some short, easy-to-remember tips that will help guide you through the process of resolving an accident:

• Check on all passengers involved in the accident and do not leave the scene. Call for medical assistance as necessary.
• Call the police and exchange information with the other party, including names, driver’s license numbers, and insurance information. Do not apologize for the accident– you may be admitting legal liability when it may not be clear who is actually at fault for the accident.
• Speak with witnesses and take pictures of the damage.
• If you must receive medical attention, keep track of your medical expenses and contact an experienced auto accident/personal injury attorney.
