What Should I Do After a Car Accident?

Once you are positive you were not injured, check for injuries on any passengers, pedestrians, or other drivers involved. If anyone was injured in the collision, call 911 immediately for assistance.

If you call a lawyer after a vehicle accident, you will likely need one then. Ensure you completely comply with the responding officer and answer questions as honestly as you can. If no one was hurt, the police may not respond. In this instance, contact your local DMV.
Never Accept Responsibility or Blame
If you acknowledge responsibility or liability for the collision, your insurance provider may refuse your claim. You may even assume it’s your fault but later realize it’s the other driver’s. Give only the information needed, but try to be pleasant and helpful. Notify only law enforcement, medical personnel, insurance adjusters, or other professionals involved in the crash.
