REGARDLESS OF WHO MIGHT BE “AT-FAULT”.
First, stay calm and collect as much information from the other driver involved in the accident as possible. Otherwise, you may not be able to hold him or her responsible if they’re at fault. There is a process for determining fault, and it is best not to prematurely take responsibility for your accident.
Next, allow the process for determining fault to play out through official channels. Because, even though you may think you were at fault for your accident, our investigation of the facts may reveal something different than you initially expected.
Contact 911 or the local police.
Collect the names, addresses, and telephone numbers from everyone involved and around the scene (e.g. independent witnesses), and the driver's license number of the driver(s), license plate numbers of any vehicle involved, and any insurance info.
Take photographs of any vehicle involved, injuries, and accident location.
If you think there is even a chance you might be injured, seek medical attention immediately.
Contact our office ASAP so we can begin our crash investigation to help put you in the best position possible.
