4 Essential Steps to Take if You Have Been in a Car Accident

Getting into a car accident can be a very traumatic experience. Depending on the severity of the crash and the level of trauma involved, individuals can forget to obtain valuable information required for them to recover for their losses in the future. To protect yourself after an unexpected car accident, be sure to remember to gather the information listed below:

 

Take Photographs or Videos

Be sure to photograph the damage to the vehicles at all angles and take a short video.  Any video or pictures of the other driver could prove helpful as well. Any injuries that you or anyone else in your vehicle have suffered should also be photographed. This proof will help later on when we are trying to determine fault and/or determine the amounts of any damages to be paid to the victim(s).

 

Speak to Any Witnesses You Can Find

Most importantly, ask any eyewitnesses for their contact information (name/address/phone number) so that you can follow up with them later on if there are further questions. If possible and practical, ask for their statement, ideally in a short video.

 

Exchange Insurance Information

Make sure to obtain the insurance information of all parties in the accident. This way, it will be easier for the various insurance companies to divide up what costs are required to pay for damages to the vehicles and potential medical expenses that occur as a result of the accident.

 

Keep Track of All Medical Expenses

Any invoices the hospital or any other medical provider provides should be filed away for later use. Those documents will help the court to determine what you should receive in damages.
