What Do I Do If I’ve Been in an Accident?

After a car crash occurs, the people involved are often in a state of shock. It can be difficult to think clearly just after a crash. But if you’re not too injured and can assist in the aftermath of the crash, there are some things to keep in mind.

    • Man calling his lawyer after a car accident in Rohnert Park.Try to remain calm – It is important not to lose your composure if at all possible. Try deep breaths and take a moment to quiet your mind, if needed.
    • Call 911 – particularly if there are any injuries. A police report needs to be filed. So even if there are no injuries, call 911 to report the car collision. Normally, police will respond by coming to the scene and assessing the crash. They may take witness statements and some forensic work may be done, if necessary. This is all-important, so be patient and let the police do their job.
    • Take photos – It never hurts to get photos of the scene, even while waiting for the police to arrive. Any photographic evidence that you have can go a long way in assisting the police, the insurance companies, your lawyer, the judge, and/or a jury to arrive at the truth of who was at fault. This determination is critical to your injury claim down the road.
    • Talk to witnesses If anyone stops, as long as you feel safe, it’s a good idea to get the contact information of any witnesses. Ask them to wait until the police arrive, but just in case they don’t, it’s good to get their information so your lawyer can speak with them later. 
    • Write out your memory of the auto accident – It is a good idea to write down what you remember about the crash while it is still fresh in your mind. That can be at the scene or a bit later – but don’t wait too long. We may not realize it, but our memory does get hazy with time. So your best chance at maintaining your recall accurately is to write it out while it’s fresh. The police may want you to write out a statement for them, and that will suffice, as long as you are not in too much shock to write out a good, detailed recollection.
    • Call an experienced attorney – Only an experienced Rohnert Park car accident lawyer knows how to properly collect and sort through all of the evidence. You need a professional in order to make an accurate assessment of current and future expenses that may arise out of the car crash. So don’t speak to an insurance company adjuster until you speak with a reliable Rohnert Park car accident lawyer who can protect your interests during this critical recovery process.
