A car accident happens so rapidly. Certainly it’s not incredible you can get ready for - but it’s critical to take these steps afterwards to defend yourself.
1. Seek medical help immediately if you are injured. You have the right to a physician of your option. Keep records of all action received, medications prescribed, and medical recommendation given by the doctor.
2. Document the accident
· If likely, take photos of the sight (damaged vehicles, any property concerned (guard rails, signs, buildings, etc), skid marks, debris and injuries).
· Interview witness and get their contact information
· Write down everything you keep in mind from the accident. Show the place of the cars after the accident. Step off exact distance of skid marks and other important distances.
· Get a copy of the accident account
3. Report the accident to your insurance company Only provide the contact information for the other drivers concerned.
4. Don’t agree to sign anything or provide a statement to an insurance company. This could perhaps forfeit your human rights to seek further compensation once the full impact of your injury is known.
5. Call for help. The law office of Robert Marwick can decide if you have a case and how much compensation you may be entitled to take delivery of. Don’t accept an unjust settlement from the insurance companies - you may be entitled to more.
