5 Key Steps to Take After a Car Accident

Those who have been involved in a car accident in the past are well aware of the challenges this can bring to their life.

Conversely, if you have yet to find yourself in this position, you may not fully realize what you should and should not do if the time comes.

So what should you do if you’re involved in an accident?

Generally speaking, there are five key steps to take after a car accident.

  • Check yourself for injuries. Your health is more important than anything else, so turn your attention to this the first chance you get. If everything checks out with you, see if anyone else in your vehicle is in trouble.
  • Call the police. It’s imperative for a police officer to arrive at the scene as soon as possible. Not only can this person take control of the accident scene, but he or she can create a report that notes the finer details of the crash.
  • Contact an ambulance. Just the same as the police, you want an ambulance to show up shortly. Even if you believe you are okay, it’s better to be safe than sorry. You should visit a local hospital for a thorough examination.
  • Exchange information. This is not always possible, as you may not be able to share information if you have suffered a serious injury. However, if you can take this step, you will want to do so.
  • Inform your insurance company. Once you’re in a position to do so, contact your insurance company to share information regarding the accident. While there is nothing wrong with being open and honest, you should not answer any questions that make you uncomfortable.

These may not be the only steps to take if you are injured in a car accident, but they are among the most important.

If you’re involved in a car accident you should seek help from a personal injury attorney

Due to the many challenges you can face, there may be one other thing you do: Consult with a personal injury attorney.

With legal help on your side, you will better understand your rights and the steps you can take to receive compensation.

Without professional assistance, it’s possible that an insurance company could attempt to take advantage of you.

If this happens, you may not receive all the compensation you deserve for your injuries and other damages.

Our family attempted to work with other lawyers for our daughter’s disability benefits application and appeals process before finding Ms.Burke. Ms. Burke is, by far, the best lawyer I have ever done business with. She approached our case with genuine caring and thoroughness. We would not have been awarded disability benefits for our daughter without the untiring, unwavering work of Ms Burke. She supported us through her expertise of the law and Social Security requirements. She bolstered us emotionally as needed. She always returned phone calls, emails, and texts in a timely manner. I have already recommended her to other people and will continue to do so. She is the best!
