If you’re involved in a crash, there are key steps you can take to protect yourself and any claim you may need to file:
- Remain at the Scene and Call 911: Always stay where the crash happened until first responders arrive. Calling for help ensures that injuries are treated promptly and that an official report is made.
- Check for Injuries and Get Medical Attention: Some injuries may not be obvious right away. Get examined by a doctor and keep all related medical records to help support your case.
- Gather Evidence and Witness Information: Take photos of vehicle damage, the surrounding area, and any visible injuries. Collect statements and contact details from witnesses who can describe what they saw.
