  1. AUTO ACCIDENT ATTORNEY

  2. 10 STEPS TO FOLLOW AFTER A CAR ACCIDENT

  3. 1. Stop the vehicle No matter who is at fault in the accident, you must stop your vehicle. State law requires drivers to stop their vehicles and exchange contact and insurance information after an accident. 2. Turn off the engine. This is an important step to help prevent fire.

  4. 3. Get out of the vehicle. Remove yourself from your vehicle and further danger. Stand out of the way of traffic, but remain at the scene of the accident. 4. Call 911. This is imperative. Even if it appears that no one was injured, assistance may be needed for clearing the scene, managing traffic, and creating the accident report.

  5. 5. Collect information from all parties. Collect information from the scene of the accident including time and location, road and weather conditions, and contact and insurance information of the people involved. 6. Do not sign anything. Signing some types of documents may compromise your rights. You may, however, sign items from the police, such as a ticket or report.

  6. 7.Seek medical attention. Even if you don’t believe you are injured, it is important to be examined by a health care professional as soon as possible. 8. Contact your insurance company. Inform your insurance company of the accident and supply them with all of the information you collected from the accident.

  7. 9. Don't talk about the accident. This is particularly important in the sense that you do not want to give the insurance companies or attorneys who are representing others any information or statements.  10. File a report with the state. If someone has been injured in the accident, or if the total damage will amount to more than $1,000, you must file a report in accordance with Minnesota state law.
