If you’ve been in an auto accident and you weren’t at fault, it’s important to:
Call the police and report the accident if you’re able
Collect evidence by noting your injuries and recording license plates, insurance information, road signs nearby, weather conditions, nearby roads and intersections, and traffic patterns — anything that may later help prove that the accident wasn’t your fault. Take photographs or videos using a camera or a smartphone.
Call your insurance company.
Reach out to a qualified attorney who can review your case and provide legal advice.
If the accident was not your fault, you have the legal right to pursue compensation from the negligent driver responsible for the accident.
