Step by Step

What to Do Immediately After the Crash

1
Ensure Safety & Call 911

If anyone is injured or the accident blocks traffic, call 911 immediately. Wait for police to arrive and file an official accident report — this becomes a key document for your claim.

2
Document the Scene

Photograph all vehicle damage, road conditions, traffic signals, and any visible injuries. Collect the other driver’s insurance, license, and plate information.

3
Seek Medical Attention

See a doctor as soon as possible — even if you feel fine. Many injuries, including whiplash and disc injuries, develop symptoms hours or days later. Delayed treatment gaps can harm your claim.

4
Contact a PI Attorney

A personal injury attorney protects your rights, handles insurer communications, and ensures your claim is properly managed. Consultations are typically free.

5
