These are the Top Ten Things To Do If You Have Had An Auto Accident:
1. Call the police call (911).
2. Get as much information as you can about the other driver and his vehicle.
3. Get witness information; names, addresses, and phone numbers.
4. If you are hurt, tell the police and get medical care. Go to the emergency room, you deserve to be checked.
5. If you have a camera or camera phone, take photos of the accident scene.
6. Be aggressive in getting medical care and getting yourself well.
7. Be extremely careful and hesitant when speaking with the insurance companies. Their sole purpose is to deny the claim or to pay as little as possible.
8. Do not accept any money or sign any papers until you are absolutely certain your injuries and continued health will be covered.
9. Document everything. Such as property damage estimates, medical bills, medical records, lost wages, pharmacy receipts, and your phone calls with the insurance company.
10. If there is any doubt about the insurance company accepting your claim or if you think they are taking too long to respond to you, call a lawyer.
