What to do immediately after an automobile accident
- Remain at the scene! Even if you are not injured, always remain at the scene of the accident.
- Immediately call an ambulance if someone at the scene requires medical attention
- Call the local authorities to file a report if there is more than $500 in damages or an injury.
- Exchange contact information with the other parties involved
- Take photos of the accident
- Inform your car insurer about the accident and send the police report if available.
If you receive medical treatment after the accident, insist the hospital does not bill you directly. Instead the hospital should bill your health insurance. Be sure and keep a record of all expenses, injuries and diagnosis. This information will work as evidence if you pursue compensation.
