What to Do After an Accident?

Take Photos at the Scene

If you have the ability to do so, you should take injuries of everything pertaining to the accident. Step out of the vehicle when it is safe to do so and take photos of all the vehicles involved from various angles. You can also take photos of the roadway to capture images of any tire marks that may have been left behind on the road. The photos may come in handy as evidence during the litigation process.

Seek Medical Attention

If you are injured, make sure to take care of yourself by going to the hospital for treatment. You might not know what types of injuries you have from the accident until you are examined by the medical professionals. 

Refrain from Speaking to Insurance Companies

Insurance company policy, for most, is to record all calls for quality assurance. This does not prevent them from being able to use anything you may have previously said against you later on in the process.

Save and Record all Expenses

Keep all hospital bills, ambulatory bills, receipts for medical equipment and prescriptions, as well as documentation of any lost wages. All of these items can be included in your case.

Avoid Posting on Social Media

You run the risk of hindering any chances you have at receiving compensation for your injuries.
