Your first step after a car crash should be to seek medical attention, even if you do not think you were hurt. Not all injuries have immediate symptoms, and it is usually beneficial to later injury claims to have a record that shows medical care immediately after an accident. When possible, take pictures of your crash scene and get contact information for anyone who witnessed your accident. If you cannot take these steps yourself, try to have friends or family members do this for you. Also beneficial is writing down everything you remember and keeping a journal, as memories of these events inevitably begin to fade rather quickly. Finally, do not speak to the other driver’s insurance company without first contacting Farris, Riley & Pitt, LLP.
