If possible, move the vehicle off the road to a safe location. Stop the car, turn off the engine, and turn on the hazard lights. Leaving the scene of the accident can be a criminal offence!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Call 911<\/strong><br \/>\nAlways call 911 as soon as possible in order to get medical assistance and police assistance. Explain the situation clearly and calmly to the operator.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exchange Information<\/strong><br \/>\nIf possible, locate the other party and exchange drivers license, plate number and insurance information with them. Also take down additional information such as phone numbers and a visual description of the vehicles involved.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take Pictures<\/strong><br \/>\nPicture evidence is your friend! In many cases where liability for the accident is in dispute, having a good document of pictures can help your case! It is also important to have pictures to gauge the extent of the vehicle damages and any visible personal injuries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seek Medical Care<\/strong><br \/>\nIf necessary, go to the hospital to treat any injuries. Make sure to keep all relevant documents and receipts for medical purchases and prescriptions. They will be critical for determining if you are entitled to further medical and rehabilitation expenses.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Start Making a Record<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen you or a relative or friend are able to do so, make a record of the accident location, possible witnesses, the speed at which the vehicles were travelling, and information that was exchanged.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contact your Insurance Company<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen safe to do so, call your insurance company. There will be an adjuster in charge of your file; answer all questions honestly and to the best of your knowledge.<strong><br \/>\n<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5260 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/grillo.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/10-Things-to-do-After-a-Car-Acciden_01.jpg\" alt=\"10 Things to do After Car-Acciden_01\" width=\"400\" height=\"505\" \/><\/strong> <\/li>\n<li><strong>Report the Accident<\/strong><br \/>\nThe insurance company may require you to report the accident in person to the nearest collision centre. As usual, keep records of all documentation, including all paperwork, the collision centre number and police officer number.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep Documentation<\/strong><br \/>\nThe importance of an organized and full file must be emphasized. A well-kept file of documents can help your case immensely in dealing with opposing parties and insurance companies. Also take note of any witnesses that can testify on your behalf. When you are ready, present these documents to your lawyer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contact a law firm that specialises in personal injury law such as Grillo Law<\/strong><br \/>\nThe experience of being involved in a motor vehicle accident can be harrowing and stressful.
