WHAT TO DO AFTER AN ACCIDENT
Updated: Mar 14
You must know what to do immediately after a car accident because, either you or your passengers can be injured and need medical assistance immediately. Ideally, the second step would be to get in contact with a personal injury attorney. At Brand Law Group, we offer professional legal help, that includes assisting you with filing an insurance claim, while making sure you get the correct treatment and help.
Check on Yourself and/or Passengers
You will need to call 911, depending on the injuries and wait for emergency personnel to arrive because you can proceed. Suppose you and/or your passenger are hurt, in this case we can help you receive the funds that are required to pay for any and all treatments needed. Do not hesitate to reach out to us, when you are in a safe location.
Contact the Police and Take Pictures
This is crucial, even if the accident is not that bad. Many states require that the police file a report of any accidents, for legal purposes. Remember, we need access to reports in order to take the right steps; one step we take is making sure you receive insurance funds.
