What
To Do In Case Of An Accident
|
 |
•
Stop the vehicle and move it out of the traveled roadway if it is clear,
safe and legal. (In most states, such as Mississippi, you are not supposed
to move the vehicle from the place where the auto accident occurred until
instructed by authorities to do otherwise). • Turn off the ignitions of all vehicles involved. • Check on all people involved in the accident to see if there are injuries and the seriousness of the injuries. • Call the Police, and if necessary, emergency medical services. • Gather the names of all people in the vehicles and the people who witnessed the auto accident. |
| •
Make a quick diagram of where the vehicle occupants were seated and
indicate the vehicles directions of travel and lanes. Also make note
of the date, time and weather. |
| •
Ask the driver for driver's license information and write down the number. |
| • Exchange insurance company information. |
| •
Do not discuss "fault" or make statements about the auto accident
to anyone but the police. |
| • Get a copy of the police report of the auto accident from the local precinct. |
| Remember... |
| In most personal injury cases, including car accidents, you are entitled to recover general damages for your pain and suffering, inconvenience, loss of opportunity to enjoy life, loss of the companionship of family members, loss of services, emotional and psychological distress, death, disability, permanent injuries, dismemberment and all special damages, such as medical bills, wage loss, future wages, diminution in earning potential, and all other out pocket expenses. |
