What to Do After a Car Accident
After a serious car accident, people are often so stressed and emotionally charged that they forget to collect information from police officers and from other drivers at the scene. However, even in minor car accidents, many people fail to get information they need.
If you or someone you love has been the victim of a car accident in which someone else was to blame, you may have grounds for legal action. For more information, contact the Denver car accident lawyers at Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., by calling (303) 423-1770.
Getting the Information You Need
If you are ever involved in a car accident, it is important to try to remain calm as you check for injuries and call for emergency assistance if needed. After making sure that everyone is alright, take the following steps:
- Move yourself and your vehicle out of the way of traffic, if possible.
- Contact a police officer. Only speak about the details of the accident with the officer, not the other party involved.
- Collect the other driver’s name, phone number, insurance information, and vehicle identification number and provide your information.
- Contact your insurance company as soon as possible.
After a car accident, some people decide to pursue legal action against the person responsible for their injuries or other losses. A qualified Denver car accident lawyer can provide advice and information about your legal rights and options.
