What To Do
If you were just in an accident, here are the next steps to do:
1
Prioritize Safety and Call 911: If able, move to a safe spot away from traffic. Call 911 right away to report the accident. Provide officers with a factual account without admitting fault (stick to known facts). Obtain the police report number or a copy.
2
Do Not Admit Fault: Avoid statements that sound like an admission of fault like “I’m sorry” or anything that could imply blame to drivers, witnesses, or police. Even “I didn’t see you” can harm your case. Cooperate factually with authorities; avoid arguments or accusations.
3
Gather Evidence at the Scene (If Safe): If not severely injured, collect information and document the accident scene:
- Exchange contact and insurance info with other drivers.
- Get names and numbers of independent witnesses.
- Photograph vehicle damage, license plates, vehicle positions, skid marks, debris, and injuries.
If unable due to injuries, ask a passenger or witness for help. Photos strengthen your case.
4
Seek Medical Attention Immediately: Prioritize health—get checked by paramedics at the scene. If recommended, go to the hospital, even if you feel “okay.” Adrenaline can hide serious issues. See a doctor within 24-48 hours for a full evaluation. This detects hidden injuries (e.g., concussions, internal damage) and creates a medical record linking them to the accident.
5
Inform Your Insurance Company (But Be Cautious): Report basics (when/where, involved parties) promptly as required. Do NOT give a recorded statement or details to any adjuster—yours or theirs—before consulting an attorney. Tell your insurer the matter is under investigation and your lawyer will follow up. You’re not required to speak to the other driver’s insurance.
6
Preserve Documentation and Receipts: Organize a file with:
- Police report,
- Medical records,
- Hospital bills,
- Prescription receipts,
- Repair estimates,
- Towing bills,
- Other relevant items.
Track missed work days and save insurance correspondence to prove damages. Journal your recovery, noting pain, limitations, and daily impacts to support pain and suffering claims.
7
Contact a Car Accident Attorney Before Signing Anything: Consult with a qualified car accident lawyer promptly—before statements or settlements. Insurers aim to minimize payouts quickly. Don’t agree to any settlement or sign releases without advice; they’re often final. An experienced attorney from HY Attorneys will review your case for free in Nebraska or Iowa. If hired, we’ll handle insurers. Remember: The call is free, and you pay nothing upfront, so get professional guidance risk-free.
