What to Do After an Accident

If you are involved in a car accident, you can protect your rights by doing a few basic things:

• Do not admit fault
• Gather the names and contact information of witnesses
• Get medical attention as soon as possible after the accident
• Take pictures of your vehicle and the other vehicle involved
• Take pictures of the location where the accident took place

Claims investigators from the other driver's insurance company or representatives of your own insurance company may contact you. Other than reporting your claim to your insurance company, you should not give them statements about the accident. First, speak with an experienced trial lawyer.
