Hopefully, you will never need this advice. However, you never know when you may be involved in a car accident, and it is critical that you are prepared, and react in the proper manner. By using the following guidelines, you can be sure that you will have the best outcome for you and your property.

Here's a quick look at what you should do if you are involved in a car accident:

1. Remain calm and thoughtful. If you or anyone else in your car is injured, stay in the vehicle, unless there is danger of a car fire or another accident.

2. Use your cell phone to call the police and medical assistance immediately.

3. Avoid making statements about responsibility to the other driver(s) involved in the accident, witnesses, insurance representatives for the other drivers, and so on.

4. Use an "Accident Information Form" (supplied through our office) to write down important details about the accident and the other vehiclesand driver(s) involved. It is critical that you do this as soon as possible, so that all of the details are fresh in your mind.


There are three things that you need to take care of immediately after the accident:

• Call a personal injury attorney

• Call YOUR insurance company to report the accident

• Call a doctor
