collision.

Everything You Do Will Affect Your Case
From the moment the accident occurs, everything
you do will dictate the outcome of your case.
That means that failure to do one thing could put
you in a bad spot. In order to avoid all the
mistakes many did before you, here are several
steps that you should take right after the
accident

Call 911
Get to safety (move from the road and the crash)
If injured, try not to move a lot
Exchange information with the other party involved
Ask any witnesses to testify on your behalf
Take photos if you can
Once the police arrive, speak with them and tell
them what happened (from your perspective). Do
not speak lies, and be as accurate as you can be.
After that, go to the hospital to receive
treatment.

Never Admit Responsibility
After the accident, no matter how guilty you may
feel, never admit it. If you do so, it will be
used against you and jeopardize your rights to
file a claim. According to the law, if you have
been injured as a result of someone elses
negligence, you have the right to file a claim
against them. Consult with Cleveland car accident
attorneys today and let them help you determine
what you should do next. Remember, you are not
guilty even though you may feel like it. Talk to
your attorney before talking with anyone else.

Call Your Insurance Company
It is in your best interest to contact your
insurer and tell them what happened. Even if you
feel like you did something wrong, you should let
your insurance company know. It would be best if
you could call them from the scene.

file a claim against the party who caused the
accident. Reach out to car accident attorneys in
