While
we hope you will never need the information, it is important for every driver
to know what to do if they are involved in a motor vehicle accident. From a legal standpoint, Schiff & Associates know that what you do after an accident, especially if you are
injured, can impact the amount you recover from your injuries and damages.
Our
experienced team of vehicle accident attorneys along with the Consumer Protection Association of America
shares useful tips for what to do if your accident results in injuries. Obviously in the case of serious injuries, you
will call 911. For non-critical
injuries, our attorneys recommend that you see a doctor as soon as possible
even if you do not think you need to as symptoms can sometimes take a few days
to appear.
Also
if you are able, you need to move your car off to the side of the road as
quickly as possible, and set out flares or cones if you have them or turn on
your car’s hazard lights. Schiff & Associates’
attorneys also advise motorists to not admit to fault to other drivers, and
before you speak to an insurance adjuster or sign anything from an insurance
company, consult with an auto accident attorney.
Also
remember to exchange and write down all pertinent information regarding the other
drivers. Be sure to include make, model,
year, and color of each car, and if you can, take pictures of the damage and
the accident scene. Furthermore, even if
the police do not show up at the accident site, you can still file a police
report by going down to a station or doing it online. Lastly we strongly recommend that you contact
an experienced motor vehicle accident attorney such as Schiff & Attorneys
for the legal assistance you need.
