8 Steps to Take After a Car Accident in Florida

8 Steps to take after a car accident

There are several important things to do after you’re in an accident. Here are the top 8 steps to ensure you and your family are taken care of.

The first step is to check yourself, your passengers, and anyone else involved for injuries. Seeking proper medical attention as soon as possible can reduce healing time and medical expenses.

Even injuries that seem minor at the time can become significant if not treated early. Serious injuries may require more immediate attention.

Next, call the police. Getting an official record about the accident, who was involved, the position of the vehicles, etc. will be important to any insurance claim or legal case you have regarding your accident. Contacting the police and having them fill out a report is essential.

Identify all witnesses and collect contact information including phone numbers and email addresses of anyone who saw what happened. This will help determine how the accident happened and who is responsible.

Take pictures of the scene. A picture is worth 1000 words. Taking pictures of the vehicles, the surrounding area, and any damage, tire marks, and the surroundings can be helpful in determining what happened.

Exchange information. Collect the other drivers’ information including their name, phone number, email address, and insurance information.

Remember, when you’re in an
accident;

DON’T CALL DAD, CALL CHAD!
