First, check for injuries and call 911 if needed. Second, always make it a priority to take photos to document your injuries and vehicle damage. Photos provide evidence that can help prove who was at fault in an accident, protect you from insurance fraud, and ensure accuracy of the police report. When taking photos after a car accident, include the injured people, the area where the crash occurred, and both wide and close-up angles of damaged vehicles. Photos are critical evidence, and this documentation can make a real difference in your personal injury claim.
Additionally, get contact information from witnesses. Report everything to the police, including your injuries, and be sure to get a police report. Then contact an experienced personal injury attorney before speaking with any insurance adjuster.
