Essential Steps to Take After a Car Accident

When you are involved in a car accident, it is normal to feel overwhelmed and experience panic about what to do immediately after a collision. There are several important steps to take to ensure the safety of you and your loved ones after being involved in a car crash in New York.

Following are 5 steps to take after a car accident in New York:

  1. Get to Safety- If possible, direct your vehicle to a safe place that is away from oncoming traffic or other drivers. Do not leave the scene of the accident without pulling over.
  2. Call the Authorities- Contact the police and an ambulance as soon as possible to address any injuries and start an accident report. Do not ever refuse medical treatment if you are advised to do so.
  3. Document the Accident and the Damage- Take pictures of any damage to property or vehicles, and ensure that you receive the other drivers' contact information, license plate number, and insurance carrier.
  4. Gather Statements from Witnesses- It is important to collect the contact information of witnesses who were at the scene of your accident. This may help your injury claim with successful compensation.
  5. Contact a Car Accident Attorney to File an Injury Claim- Our accident attorneys can help you with the nuances of your car accident claim by using our extensive experience to help you receive maximum compensation.

The Importance of Filing a Police Report After a Car Accident

Filing a car accident report with the police can be a highly beneficial step following a collision. Not only can it provide a formal record of the incident, but it also serves as an essential piece of documentation that can prove vital during the claims process. It is, therefore, strongly advisable for any car accident victim to ensure a police report is duly filed.

Here are the top three reasons why a police report can aid your car accident injury case:

  1. Proof of Incident: A police report provides an official record of the car accident, which can serve as irrefutable proof that the incident occurred. It offers a comprehensive account of the accident, including the date, time, location, and individuals involved.
  2. Evidence of Fault: Often, a police report includes the officer's opinion on who was at fault for the accident, based on their on-the-spot assessment and witness statements. This can be a key factor in establishing liability and could significantly influence the outcome of your injury claim.
  3. Supporting Documentation: A police report can serve as a critical piece of supporting evidence when filing a claim with the insurance companies. It often contains information about the damages and injuries, which can help in establishing the severity of the accident and aid in securing compensation.
