A car accident can be a frightening experience. Here are a few pointers to think about beforehand so that you'll be prepared to act under the harrowing circumstances:
- If anyone is injured, call 911 immediately and request medical attention.
- Notify the police. Make sure when the police arrive that a report is taken, and that you are given information regarding how to retrieve the report when it is ready.
- Get information from the scene of the accident. Try to take down the license plate number of the other driver immediately, in case he/she attempts to leave the scene. After the police have arrived, you will want the names, addresses, and phone numbers of everyone involved in the accident, including the driver of the other car, passengers, responding police officers, and witnesses.
- Protect your rights. Speak with an attorney before speaking with any insurance adjuster. Some adjusters may try to solicit information from you that could be detrimental to your claim.
