What to Do if You Were Involved in a Car Crash
If you were involved in a car crash, here’s what you should do immediately and in the following days to protect your health, rights, and potential legal claim:
Right After the Crash
- Check for injuries: Prioritize safety. Call 911 if anyone is hurt.
- Move to safety (if possible): If the vehicles are drivable, move them to a safe area to prevent further accidents.
- Call the police: Always file a police report, even for minor accidents. It helps with insurance and legal matters.
- Exchange information: Get the other driver’s name, contact info, license plate number, driver’s license number, and insurance details.
- Document the scene: Take photos of the vehicles, damage, road conditions, and any injuries. If there are witnesses, ask for their contact info.
- Do not admit fault: Even if you think you may have caused the accident, don’t say anything that could be interpreted as admitting fault.
In the Hours/Days After
- Seek medical attention: Some injuries (like whiplash or internal trauma) might not show up immediately. Get checked out even if you feel okay.
- Notify your insurance company: Report the accident as soon as possible. Be honest, but stick to the facts.
- Keep records: Save all medical bills, repair estimates, receipts, and any communication with insurance companies.
- Consider speaking with a lawyer: Especially if the accident caused injuries, significant damage, or disputes about fault, California car accident lawyers can help protect your rights.
