What Steps Should I Take in a Car Accident?

In the event that you file a personal injury claim, calling the police establishes evidence that can be used to prove your injuries. Officers will take statements, examine the scene, and file an official report. While you may immediately not feel injured, be sure to monitor your body and any noticeable changes in succeeding days and weeks, and always seek proper medical treatment.

It’s important to note important information for your own records, such as the names of drivers and passengers, Driver’s License numbers, Insurance information for all drivers, names and contact information for any witnesses, and anything else you deem necessary at the scene.
