What to Do After a Car Accident
Immediately dial 911 for emergency assistance and to report the accident. Make sure that you get to a safe place off the road, such as the sidewalk if possible.
Then, take these steps to preserve the integrity of your potential case:
- Do not admit your own fault or blame anyone else.
- Exchange contact and insurance information with everyone at the scene, including witnesses.
- Record the details of your accident while they’re still fresh in your mind. Write them down on a piece of paper or record them with an app on your smart phone.
- DO NOT sign any papers from any insurance company or allow them to record your statement “for accuracy purposes.” They may use this against you later.
- If you are injured, seek medical treatment right away. Your medical provider will get you the treatment you need. You’ll also have a documented record of your injuries if you decide to file a personal injury claim. Contact Edgar Snyder & Associates for a free consultation of your claim.
Insurance Companies: Proceed With Caution
Insurance companies live by the “three D’s.” They delay handling your claim, deny you were hurt and then defend their decision to lowball your compensation with an army of lawyers. That’s why you should turn to us. This may be your first time dealing with these insurance issues. We have more than 40 years of experience standing up to insurance companies and putting the needs of our clients first.
