Tampa Car Accident Attorney
Steps to Take Following a Car Accident in Tampa
The aftermath of a car accident is often overwhelming, and the trauma can be lasting, especially if your injuries were particularly severe. However, it is crucial to take certain steps to protect the future of your personal injury claim.
Here are the steps you should take after being involved in a car accident:
- Check yourself and others for injuries and contact 911 if emergency medical assistance is needed. Even if no one is in need of an ambulance, you will still need to call law enforcement to the scene to ensure a police report is written up.
- If you are in an unsafe area and the vehicles are operational, everyone involved should move to a safer area of the road.
- Exchange all pertinent information with the other driver, including insurance information and contact information. You should also take as many photos at the scene as possible, including damage done to the vehicles involved and the surrounding area.
- Contact your insurance company while you are still at the scene to report the accident.
- Seek medical attention. Even if you do not believe you were injured, you cannot know for certain until a doctor examines you. It is not uncommon for symptoms to appear days or even weeks after an accident.
Lastly, you should reach out to our law office to discuss the possibility of filing a personal injury lawsuit. Oftentimes, people are unsure if this is an appropriate step, but our experienced attorney will examine your case and advise you on the best course of action.
