What Do I need to do if I am injured in a Car Accident?

If you have been involved in an auto accident, it is important to be mindful that everything you do or say at the accident scene has the potential of directly affecting the outcome of your auto accident injury case.

Here is a list of things to do if hurt in a car accident:

1. Never leave the scene of an accident. In Florida, this could be considered a criminal offense.
2. Check to see how all passengers and drivers are.
3. Seek medical help if you or anyone at the scene is in need.
4. Call the police.
5. Exchange insurance information with drivers.
6. Take pictures.
7. Talk to any witnesses (and ask them if they are willing to give a statement to the police).
8. Call your attorney. Brown Law P I: 407-344-3400.
9. Inform Your Insurance company. They will help you take care of a property damage claim.
10. Keep track of any and all medical bills and time lost from work.
11. Be consistent in any medical treatment. The other insurance company will not believe that you are in pain if you are treating sporadically and this will affect any settlement.

While law enforcement provides an invaluable service to our ommunities, all law enforcement officers do not provide the same level of detail when creating an accident report. For this reason, we cannot stress enough that you take as many detailed photos of the vehicles that are involved, as well as wide shots that show the area of the accident. This may allow your attorney to more accurately put together and present not only the accident, but the details that lead up to the accident and strengthen the case for the other party’s liability regarding the auto accident crash.
