Injured in a car accident – What should you do now?

What you should do immediately after you’ve been injured in a car accident

• Immediately after being injured in a car accident and once in a safe place, you should do the following if able:
• Call 911 and request an ambulance if necessary for you or others involved
• If possible, take pics of your injuries, impact points on both vehicles as well as the entire accident scene and its surroundings including skid marks and nearby signs
• Write down any information you can think of, no matter how insignificant it seems. Information such as; time of day, what other people said, contact info of other drivers/witnesses, and even the weather conditions.
• Contact your insurance company and tell them you were injured in an accident. Keep your comments factual; don’t speculate on what may have happened.
• If the other side’s insurance company calls you, take down their name and phone number and tell them you will have your lawyer contact them.
• Contact an attorney and tell them you’ve been injured in a car accident and need representation. They will advise you on what to do next.
