For over a generation, the accident lawyers at Curt Davis Law Office PLLC have been fighting for the rights of victims and going to bat for those pursuing personal injury claims and compensation for auto injuries. When you've been in a car wreck, knowing how to lay the groundwork for legal proceedings is key. That includes knowing what to do in the immediate aftermath of the event.

What are the correct steps to take following an auto accident? According to findlaw.com, obtaining a thoroughly detailed police report is essential. Be sure to get the names and badge numbers of all officers at the scene and always exchange contact information (names, addresses, phone numbers, etc) with witnesses. When you file a claim, you're going to need to submit proof of responsibility along with it, so leave no stones unturned. 

Always promptly inform your insurance company of any accident. Explain the facts clearly and don't omit any details. Keep scrupulous track of all medical treatments, too. This includes consolidating reports from ER doctors, physical therapists, chiropractors, and other caregivers. The purpose of an injury claim is to recompense medical costs—and to cover the costs of future treatments— so you'll need to keep accurate records.

Moreover, always be wary of early settlement offers. Never accept an offer before consulting with an attorney—and never make any official statements without the approval of legal counsel.
