What should you do if involved in a traffic accident?
If you find yourself as a victim in a traffic accident, there are important things you can do to improve your chances of recovering financial damages from the responsible driver.

While each case is different, here are some things to keep in mind:

• 1. Seek medical attention: anyone who has been injured in a traffic accident should seek medical attention. Not only will this help your recovery, but involvement of medical professionals may assist with proving the validity of your claim against the other driver. Doctors, nurses and paramedics can be important witnesses in a car accident case to help demonstrate that you should be compensated for your injuries.
• 2. Document everything you can about the accident: while accident scenes are usually chaotic, documenting the scene can be crucial to your case. Photographs and video recordings help preserve the scene and may capture evidence that will be essential to proving the fault of the other driver. Because lawsuits can take time, you should write down your recollection of the accident promptly after it occurs to help you remember details of the event.
• 3. Identify potential witnesses: anyone with information about the accident or the damages may be a witness to your case. This includes the other driver, as all too often the other person involved flees the scene and evades responsibility. Often, car accidents are witnessed by strangers. These witnesses may be important to your case, so you will want to be able to find them. Write down names and contact information of anyone who can provide information about the case. This includes medical personnel who provide services and police officers who respond to the scene.
• 4. Contact an attorney: as soon as possible after a car accident, contact an attorney with experience representing victims of car accidents. An attorney will protect your interests and provide advice about the things you need to do. An attorney can help preserve evidence and begin the process of pursuing damages against the other driver.
