AUTO ACCIDENTS

What to do if you’re in an automobile accident?

Being involved in an automobile accident can be scary and overwhelming. You may have a million thoughts running through your mind, but your first priority should always be your safety and well-being, and that of your loved ones. Although it’s a great idea to get photos of the vehicles/accident scene, please be aware of your surroundings. You don’t want to put yourself in a more dangerous situation, trying to get photos.

If you are unable to move due to pain or physical constraints, remain calm, and wait for help to arrive. If you are able to move on your own, get yourself to a safe location, and call local law enforcement to report the incident. Be prepared to show them your license, registration, and insurance information. Take photos of the location and vehicles, if you can do so safely.

Try your best to obtain a copy of the preliminary crash report or driver exchange, before leaving the scene. That document will provide valuable information, and assist you in reporting your claim or claims.

If the accident results in injuries or damage to your vehicle or personal property, you may want to consult with a local Auto Accident Attorney like Ardyn, to help guide you through the insurance claims process, and help you understand your rights.
