1 GATHER AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE AT THE
SCENE OF THE CRASH
To gather useful information about an accident,
try taking plenty of photos and videos with your
phone. It's important to document 1) The crash
site and the surrounding area 2) The damage to
each vehicle 3) The other vehicles license plate
4) The other drivers insurance information 5)
Traffic and weather conditions If anyone
witnessed the accident, request their contact
information from them. You will also need to
provide a statement to the police officer before
leaving the scene. Your car accident attorney can
help you obtain a copy of the police report at a
later date.

2 SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY
It is important for you to seek immediate medical
care for your injuries after a crash. If you
wait to see a doctor or refuse medical treatment,
the other insurance companies will likely try to
argue that (a) you cannot prove you sustained
your injuries in the crash and (b) even if you
sustained your injuries in the crash, your delay
in seeking treatment makes you financially
responsible for the costs of your care.

3 TAKE DETAILED NOTES ABOUT THE CRASH
When involved in an automobile accident it is
important for you to concentrate on the most
important aspects of the crash and not get
distracted by less relevant pieces of
information. Taking notes immediately after the
crash will help you to recall key facts when you
are preparing your claim with an insurance
company or other legally responsible party. As
time passes, you may forget essential details.
Your recollection may also be affected by what
you hear from other people. By taking detailed
notes now, you can avoid losing sight of key
facts that are relevant to your case.

4 AVOID DISCUSSING (OR POSTING ABOUT) THE CRASH
After a crash, you should avoid talking about it
with anyone other than your attorney. The same is
true of posting about the accident online.
Insurance companies will be looking for
anything they can use to deny your claim.
Adjusters will not hesitate to use your
coworkers testimony or your own social media
activity against you. Let your lawyer do the
talking on your behalf.

5 DOCUMENT YOUR COSTS RESULTING FROM THE CRASH

• In addition to documenting the accident, you
  should also keep a record of any expenses you
  incur. These items might include but are not
  limited to
• Repair estimates and bills for your vehicle
• Medical records
• Medical bills and explanation of benefits
  statements
• Documentation from your employer (if you miss
  time from work)
• Letters you receive from any insurance companies
• In order to receive more compensation, you should
  document all of the ways that the accident
  impacts your daily life. A useful way to do this
  is by keeping a pain journal.
