The minutes after a car accident resulting in a personal injury can be a scary time, filled with confusion and sometimes more questions than answers. The Law Office of Robert L. Ward wants to do everything in our power to make sure you get the settlement you deserve.
What to do after a car accident:
Check for any injuries. If you have any, immediately make note of them.
Call the non-emergency line for the local police
Exchange information with the other driver or drivers involved in the accident
Take photos of the scene and all the vehicles involved. Make sure to photo any and all damages
Call your insurance company as soon as you can
Get medical attention for any injuries as soon as possible
Hire an attorney
It is best to keep a record of anything that occurred at the scene of an accident, just in case there is any dispute about what happened at any point during the resolution process.
