What to do following an accident
If you have been injured in an automobile accident, you should do the following:
- Consult an attorney for legal advice as soon as possible
- Review your insurance policies to find out what is covered and what is excluded.
- Notify your insurance company right away after you are in a car accident
- Take pictures if you can: of your vehicle, the accident site and your injuries.
- Take notes when you speak with your insurance company. Make a record of the names, job titles and phone numbers of the representatives with whom you communicate. If you can, get the names of their supervisors, too. Note what you discussed and what you or the representative promised to do.
- Tell your insurance company the truth. Not only does this save everyone a lot of time and effort, but questions of legal liability can be complex. If you fail to be forthcoming with your insurance company, this could invalidate or reduce your coverage.
- Investigate whether you have additional insurance coverage. Depending on the circumstances, supplemental coverage may come from another auto insurance policy, a homeowner’s policy or umbrella coverage.
- Keep the receipts for money you’ve spent on car rental, medical bills and purchases made in connection with the motor vehicle accident.
