There are several key requirements after any car accident. You should seek medical help as soon as possible – usually at a local emergency room. Victims who can, should take photos and videos of the accident site, the cars, and themselves. If you or a passenger is able to call the police, do so; this ensures there is a record of the event. You should also speak with our experienced Columbus car accident lawyers as quickly as you can. While you do need to notify your own insurance company of an accident, you should never discuss the accident claim with the insurance companies for the defendants. We will speak to these carriers for you.
