What to Do After Your Car Accident in North Hempstead
After your accident, it’s understandable to be confused, hurt, and unsure of your next steps. Our legal team recommends you take the following actions to protect your well-being and your legal case:
Move to a Safe Space and Call 911
You should seek immediate medical care after an accident. If you can, move out of the way of danger and contact first responders. They can provide medical care at the accident scene or take you to the hospital for treatment. If you cannot move yourself or your car, the police and paramedics will help you when they get to the accident scene.
Stay at the Accident Scene
You must stay at the scene of the accident. While you don’t want to place blame or admit fault for the accident, you should speak to the police and witnesses, as they could play an important role in our evidence-gathering process.
Gather Witness Contact Information
If your injuries allow you to collect witness contact information, this can benefit your case. Our car accident lawyers can use this information if we need to interview witnesses as we build your case. If you’re able to, collect other evidence like photos, videos, and a written record of how you feel right after the accident.
Avoid Speaking to the Insurance Company
You’ll likely get a phone call from an insurance adjuster after the accident. You can politely refuse to speak with the insurance company, as they might try to use your words against you in an effort to offer you a lowball settlement. The team at Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC, will speak with the insurance company to protect your case.
