What To Do and Not To Do After a Car Accident

A car accident can be a traumatic experience. It can lead to serious injuries. However, the things that you do and don’t do immediately after the accident can often impact the outcome of your car accident claim.

Here are the things you should do and not do after a car accident:

What To Do
·         Seek medical help immediately. If you do not, later it may be difficult to show that the injury corresponds to the accident.
·         Involve the police. The police report can help you prove the accident.
·         Collect as much information as possible from the other driver involved in the accident, such as his/her name, address, telephone number and insurance information, as well as the model and license plate number of the other vehicle.
·         Collect contact information of people who witnessed the accident.
·         Photograph the accident scene in its authentic condition.
·         Notify your own insurance company about the accident.

What Not to Do
·         Do not move the vehicle after the accident. Let the law enforcement officials see the actual impact of the accident.
·         Do not admit fault. Admitting that you caused the accident could be used as an admission against you.
·         Do not make a recorded statement to your insurer. Once your statement is recorded, you may be stuck with it.
·         Do not agree to a settlement before discussing it with your lawyer.
