If you are injured by a drunk driver, there are specific steps to take to protect yourself both physically and legally. These include:
Call 911 to report the accident
Write down the name of the other driver, as well as their license, registration, and insurance information.
Note any witnesses to the accident and get their information too if possible.
Get medical help for your injuries immediately
Take photographs of your injuries and damage to the vehicles
Contact an attorney
Report the accident to your insurer, but don’t give any statements before talking to an attorney
Don’t talk to anyone from the other driver’s insurance company before getting advice from an attorney
