New Port Richey Auto Accident LawyerBeing involved in a car accident that results in bodily injury can be a very frightening experience. It is of utmost importance for those involved in an automobile crash to stay calm and determine if anyone is hurt. If anyone is hurt, you are required to get help. Additionally, you must provide your name, address, and vehicle registration number to others involved in the accident.

Moreover, if you were involved in an automobile accident, it is important that you don’t undertake any action to jeopardize your case.

It is advisable to follow these five steps anytime you are involved in a collision.

  • Do not admit fault for the accident to anyone no matter the circumstance. Your interpretation of the event may be skewed, so it is best not to say anything until your mind has been cleared.
  • Seek medical attention even if you do not feel any symptoms immediately. It is too common for parties involved not to experience any symptoms until days or even weeks following the accident. This action is important because the longer you wait, the harder it will be to prove that the injuries sustained were caused by the car accident.
  • Take pictures! Take pictures of the accident, scene, and injuries you sustained. It is especially consequential to take photos of bruises, cuts and scrapes you sustained because they heal quickly.
  • Take notes regarding your medical treatment and have the contact information of chiropractors, physical therapist, or medical profession you have been visiting. This information will be necessary to receive reimbursement from your insurance company.
  • Schedule a free consultation with an experienced car accident attorney. An experienced car accident attorney will make sure that you legal rights are protected. An experienced attorney will know how to properly deal with all of the parties involved: insurance companies, witness and experts and may negotiate a settlement or file a lawsuit on your behalf.
