When You've Been in an Accident

Car accidents are scary, and the last thing you want to worry about is your personal injury case when you've been involved in one. However, it's important to keep a few things in mind after you've been involved in an accident.

First, call 911 if you or anyone else involved in the accident have been seriously injured. Obtain the name, license number, and insurance information of the other driver(s) involved in the accident. Contact law enforcement to report the accident and make a statement. If possible, take photos of the vehicles.

Visit a Doctor After Your Accident

Even if you're not seriously injured, it's in your best interest to visit a doctor as soon as possible. Oftentimes, because adrenaline is running high, car accident victims may not experience pain from their injuries until later.



If you wait to visit the doctor because you don't feel any pain, but it later turns out you've been injured, insurance companies may use this gap in time to their advantage. An insurance company could claim that your injuries aren't related to the car accident at all but may be from another event. By visiting a doctor first and foremost, you can establish your accident-related medical records. This is essential for building your auto accident case.
