Long Island Accident Lawyers
What to do if you get into a car accident?
- Call the police, listen to, and follow their instructions.
- If you are hurt accept any medical attention offered at the accident scene. Doing so refutes a common insurance company argument that if you were hurt you would have accepted medical care right away.
- If you are feeling well, gather as much information as possible, do not rely on the police to gather all the proper information
- Write down the licenses plate number of all vehicles involved including any witnesses.
- Only talk to the police about how the accident occurred.
- Preserve anything the other drivers or witnesses said, such as “I am sorry, I did not see you.”
- Use your cell phone to record video of the accident scene and take photos.
