Steps To Take After A Crash
You never think you are going to be the one in an accident. While you can never fully prepare for a crash, there are steps you should take after an accident to protect your future.
Follow these steps after an accident:
- Get to a safe spot and call for medical help if you think anyone is injured.
- Call the police to report the accident.
- Exchange information with all other parties involved.
- Take photographs of your vehicle and the accident scene, along with taking notes recounting what happened.
- If possible, get contact information from any witnesses to the crash.
- Notify your insurance agent of the accident but do not answer their questions or agree to anything until you speak to an attorney.
- Seek medical attention for your injuries. This is true even if you think your injuries are minor or not related to the crash. If you have pain, even weeks later, get it checked out.
We Are On Your Side
Insurance companies may pressure you to sign an agreement. Do not do this. Instead, speak with us about your accident so we can determine the best course of action to take. We have decades of experience handling insurance matters for accident victims. We will protect your best interests at every stage. We do not settle with the insurance company just to make a quick buck. Our goal is to maximize your compensation to make you whole.
Why work with us? Our goal is the same as yours. We want to make sure you are treated fairly and taken care of long after the accident. Because we only take on a limited number of cases, we are able to provide personalized service and honest advice tailored to your specific needs. And since we only get paid if we recover in your claim, there is no risk to have us review your accident before you sign anything with the insurance company.
