Don’t leave the scene of the collision: Leaving the scene of a motor vehicle collision is not only illegal, but it can also make it difficult to gather evidence and determine fault. It’s important to stay at the scene and exchange information with the other driver(s) involved, including their name, contact information, insurance information, and vehicle registration. If there are any witnesses, it’s also important to get their contact information.
Don’t ignore your injuries: It’s common for injuries to appear hours or even days after a motor vehicle collision. It’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible and to document any injuries you sustained. It’s also important to follow any treatment recommendations provided by your healthcare provider, even if you’re feeling fine. Failure to do so can hurt your case.
Don’t delay in contacting an attorney: It’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible after a collision to ensure your rights are protected and to increase your chances of receiving fair compensation. An attorney can help you navigate the legal process and ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve for any injuries or damages you sustained.
