New Orleans Personal Injury Lawyers

Do not leave the scene of the accident.

There can be serious injuries in even a minor accident, so stay at the scene until police and help arrive.

Check for injuries.

If anyone is injured, call for an ambulance right away.

Call the police.

Always call the police after a car accident. Police officers will collect information, investigate the crash, determine who was at fault, and write an official police report. This will help your insurance claim and any liability claims.

Get as much information as you can.

This means the contact information of other drivers, witnesses, and passengers. Be sure to write down the license plate numbers and insurance information of any involved drivers. Take pictures of the accident scene as well.

Do not admit responsibility.

Exchange information and be honest, but realize that even a simple apology can be used against you. You might think you were responsible for the accident and later learn that the other driver was equally at fault.

Seek medical attention.

Many car accident injuries can show up days or weeks later. Help your recovery by getting treatment as soon as possible. Medical records are also vital to your accident claim.
