Car accidents can put a person in shock.  Do you know what to do after an accident?  Being prepared can help you stay calm in an emergency.  Following these steps can make the claims process simple and help you get the money you deserve. 

Steps to Take After an Accident:

·        Check for Injury – The first thing you should do following an auto accident is see if anyone in your vehicle or the other vehicle needs medical assistance.
·        Move to the Side – If your vehicles are blocking the road, move them to the side to a safe position.
·        Call 911 – Call the police to file an accident report.
·        Exchange Information – Get the insurance information and drivers’ license numbers of the other drivers involved in the auto accident.
·        Document – Take pictures with a camera or cell phone of your vehicle damage, the scene of the accident, and any injuries.

If you have recently been in an auto accident, the first thing you should do is get the medical care you need.  Notify your auto insurance provider, get a copy of the police report, and have your claim reviewed by a personal injury lawyer.  This will make sure that you are being treated fairly by your insurance company!
