Being in a car crash can be a stressful experience that leaves people with their lives tossed upside down. Even minor collisions can still cause injury and result in financial loss. Victims of car crashes are encouraged to take these steps after a car accident to protect their best interests:

See If Anyone is Hurt

Do not leave the scene of a car accident, even if it’s only a minor one. The priority is safety and health, as all else can wait. Make sure every person is okay and wait for emergency medical assistance if needed. Even if you think you are not hurt seriously, you could be, so always accept medical attention just in case.

Move the Vehicle Out of Danger


Depending on where the cars landed after impact, they may be in the way of other drivers. The situation will only get worse if a second accident was caused because of the aftermath of the first. Once your health is confirmed to be stable, move your vehicle out of the way off to the side of the road.

Call the Police

It is important to call the police so a report of the accident can be written. However, keep in mind that some places won’t send out an officer unless a person was hurt in the accident. Once an officer arrives, get their name, contact information, and badge number. You can follow up on the days after to get a copy of the accident report.

Collect Driver Details

As you are taking pictures or video of the car damage, scene, and visible injuries, be sure to talk with the other driver and get his or her information. Write down their name, driver’s license number, phone number, address, insurance company name, and policy number. Then, get the vehicle details such as make, model, year, color, vehicle ID number, and license plate number. 

If you were hurt after a recent car crash, contact a reputable car accident lawyer as soon as possible.

    Client Review

    Steve was the person who scoured the details and the depositions finding all the extra details we needed for court. Cathy guided me through several tough meditations. All three are excellent, and they all have different approaches. I absolutely recommend this team, and I would use them again if needed! If you want to speak with me personally please let Maryjo know and I would be happy to recommend them personally to you. ”
