The first thing you should do after an accident is to make sure that you, your passengers, and the other driver(s) are safe. The next step is ensuring that you do not compromise your case in any way, even if you do not initially plan on taking the issue to your insurance company or to court. The unfortunate truth is that the at-fault driver could falsely claim that you were responsible for the accident and take legal action against you. Here are some important actions to take after your accident: Call 911, Collect evidence and documentation, Seek medical attention ASAP, and Contact a Baltimore car accident lawyer.
