Car accidents, ranging from minor fender-benders to severe collisions, can be disorienting and stressful. However, how you document your case immediately following the accident can significantly affect the outcome of any legal or insurance proceedings. The Williams Litigation Group offers experienced advice on capturing the crucial evidence needed to support your case.
At the Scene: Critical First Steps
- Safety and Health Check: Your immediate safety and health are paramount. Ensure that you and others involved are safe and seek medical attention if necessary.
- Contact Authorities: Call the police to the scene, even for minor accidents. A police report is an authoritative and unbiased account of the event.
- Document Everything: Use your phone to take pictures of the vehicles, license plates, the accident scene, and any visible injuries.
- Witness Information: If there are witnesses, politely ask for their contact information. Their perspective can provide invaluable insights into the accident.
- Exchange Information: Exchange insurance and contact information with the other driver, but avoid discussing fault or liability.
Post-Accident Actions
- Medical Attention: If you didn’t seek immediate medical attention, visit a doctor for a thorough check-up. This step is crucial, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
- Documenting Expenses and Damages: Keep a detailed record of all related expenses, including medical bills, repair costs, and any lost wages due to the accident.
- Insurance Notification: Notify your insurance company about the accident. Provide them with your documentation, but refrain from making conclusive statements or accepting blame.
