Immediately Following an Accident/Motor Vehicle Collision
Posted Monday, March 05, 2018 by Ed Harper
Here is our attorney-approved, easy-to-remember list for what to do immediately following an accident:
Protect: Keep yourself safe. Then, if able, determine if anyone else is injured or needing medical attention.
Call 911 to report the collision and obtain the assistance of first responders.
Document: Obtain all necessary information: Take property damage pictures of all vehicles involved, all insurance information, witness names, vehicle and driver’s licenses and registration.
Move: When there is no further danger, get the permission of policemen or first responders at the scene, and move your vehicle.
Get Checked: Schedule an appointment to have all your injuries examined by a professional. Even minor injuries must be treated after an accident.
Contact: Seek legal counsel regarding your accident, preferably by contacting Harper Law. Legal counsel is imperative to successfully bringing a personal injury or property damage claim. Finally, contact your insurance provider for further assistance.
