What Should I Do Immediately After a Car Accident?

1. Check for injuries and call 911

Your safety is the top priority. Check yourself and others for injuries and call 911 right away, even if the crash seems “minor.” You could be suffering from shock, preventing you from having full awareness of any injuries. Let emergency responders evaluate everyone at the scene and ensure an official report is initiated.

2. Get medical attention as soon as possible

Let paramedics treat you or go to an ER or urgent care quickly. Some injuries, like whiplash or concussions, might not appear right away, and early documentation is crucial for your health and claim.

3. Make sure the collision is reported

This is important. If law enforcement has not yet arrived, contact the police and wait for an officer to respond wherever it is safe to do so. An official collision report documenting the vehicles, drivers, location, and any visible injuries can serve as key evidence later.

4. Exchange information and document the scene

Depending on where your accident happened, if you are able to do so safely, exchange names, contact details, driver’s license numbers, and insurance information with the other driver(s).

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accident Injury Cases

Do I have a case if I was partially at fault?

Yes, you may still have a case even if partially at fault. Often, your compensation is adjusted based on your share of fault. Talk to an attorney before assuming you have no options.

What if the other driver does not have insurance or does not have enough?

You may still have coverage through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) policy, medical payments coverage, or health insurance. These claims can be complicated because multiple policies could apply. However, an experienced attorney can help identify every possible source of compensation.

What if I didn't feel hurt right away and only saw a doctor later?

It is common for someone in a car crash to feel adrenaline at first and only notice pain or stiffness hours or days later. You should still seek medical care as soon as you notice symptoms and be honest with your provider about when the crash happened and how you feel.

How long can a car accident case usually take?

The timeline depends on the severity of your injuries, the type and length of your treatment, and whether liability is in dispute. Some cases can be resolved in a few months, while others take more time when long-term injuries or litigation are involved. Our priority is to time your case around your recovery, not just a quick settlement.

What compensation could be available in a car accident case?

Depending on your case, you may recover damages for medical bills, future care, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering. In serious cases, you may also seek compensation for disability, disfigurement, or loss of enjoyment of life.

Will my case have to go to court?

Not necessarily. Many car accident claims are resolved through settlement rather than trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to be fair, we are prepared to file a lawsuit and present your case in court. We will discuss the options with you at every stage, so you can make informed decisions.
