10 Things To Do After A Car Accident
When you are in an accident, it's hard to know what to do. You feel shaken and confused. You may be injured or in shock. It's a good idea to tuck a list of must-do tasks into your glove compartment for emergencies.
- Take a deep breath and try to calm down. Try to control your anxiety and your anger at the other driver.
- Assess yourself for injuries. If you suffered a severe blow, you may have internal injuries. If you or any passengers in the car are in trouble, call 911 immediately.
- If you can, stay at the scene until police arrive.
- If your car is in harm's way and it is drivable, move it away from traffic. Switch on your hazard lights.
- Open the in-car accident kit we describe below. If necessary, deploy the flares, triangles or cones that you keep in your trunk.
- Take the pad and pencil and jot down any details about the accident: the time, damage to your vehicle, the name of the other driver and his or her insurance information.
- If there are witnesses, get their names and phone numbers.
- Take photographs of the accident scene, including any damages to property, injuries, nearby road signs, etc.
- Call a personal injury lawyer you can trust, and explain the situation. The number at Eliot Reiner, APLC is (916) 778-3228.
- Call your insurance agent and report the accident.
