What to Do and Not Do After an Alabama Car Accident
After any car accident, you need to contact an experienced attorney. Alabama Wreck Lawyer and The Self Law Firm can help you deal with insurance companies and their lawyers. Let us fight for every penny you deserve.
Things to Do After a Car Accident
- Dial 911 to report the accident. Getting police and an ambulance to you as soon as possible is very important, especially if there are injuries.
- If possible, pull over to the curb or side of the road and turn on your hazard lights.
- Collect information from everyone else involved in the crash, including the other driver’s insurance and contact information. Write down the names of any witnesses if possible.
- Stay at the scene. Even if the other driver tries to hit and run, don’t chase them. That’s dangerous and can only lead to further damage. Leave them to the police.
- If you can, take pictures of your vehicle’s damage and the entire accident scene.
Things to NOT Do After a Car Accident
- Don’t panic. You need to remain calm to get through the situation.
- Don’t get out of the car if you’re seriously injured. Wait for medical attention.
- Don’t admit the accident was your fault to anyone. Keep your conversation with the other driver and any passengers to a minimum.
- Don’t leave the scene without exchanging information with the other driver.
- DO NOT talk to insurance companies or their lawyers. Let your attorney do that.
