Car accident claims are some of the most common personal injury cases we handle, with thousands of crashes happening each year in the state of Missouri. If you are in a car accident, take the following steps to preserve evidence in your claim before contacting Fowler Pickert Eisenmenger Norfleet.
Call 911 to bring law enforcement and emergency medical services to the scene. Accident victims should always ask for the responding officer’s badge number so you can find the accident report later.
If it is safe to do so, take photographs of your injuries and the damage to all vehicles. Photograph the area around the scene as well, including all traffic signs and signals.
Exchange contact, insurance, and license information with the other drivers and injured people at the scene.
Collect the contact information for any witnesses in the area who may be able to provide testimony in your claim.
Seek medical care as soon as possible to receive treatment for your injuries and collect medical bills and records.
Do not speak to an insurance adjuster or any insurance companies until discussing your claim with your Kansas City personal injury attorney.
