Steps to Follow After an Accident

Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia Car Accident Attorneys

There are a few simple steps you should take after an accident to protect your legal rights and improve your chances of winning.

Talk to the Police:

Police reports include valuable information, such as date and time of the accident, vehicle damage, and contact information for the other party and his insurance carrier. If a police officer was not at the scene of your accident, you may need to file a report at the local police station.

Share the Facts:

  • If you collected insurance information, names, phone numbers, and any other contact information for people who witnessed or were involved in your accident, give this information to your Maryland car accident lawyer. It may also come in handy when we investigate your accident. 
  • Think about the direction you were driving, the lane you and the other driver were traveling in, where you were coming from and where you were going. Write down this information and share it with your attorney. 

Visit A Doctor:

Our Washington, D.C. auto accident lawyers recommend that all of our clients see a doctor as soon as possible after an accident, even if you don’t think you were seriously injured. Sometimes injuries take time to present themselves and having a doctor’s opinion from the beginning will build a stronger case.
