If you’re involved in a car accident, the first things you need to do are stay calm, call the police, and dial 911 if you or someone else has been injured. Also, get the name and contact information of all parties involved in the accident as well as any witnesses. If possible, gather some evidence by taking pictures of the vehicles, the accident scene, and the injuries. Do not admit any liability because your attorney will need to conduct a thorough investigation to establish the other driver’s fault. Finally, don’t forget to contact an experienced auto accident attorney.

Make sure your case is prepared to go all the way with the help of an experienced car accident lawyer.
