  1. Important Steps to Take In the First Few Days After a Car Accident It is important to take a proactive role in your case against the negligent motorist in order to obtain a substantially higher settlement offer, especially if you were seriously injured in the accident. This article discusses the important steps you need to take immediately after a car accident. Steps to Take After a Car Accident There are many steps that you need to take after a car accident to help strengthen your claim and ensure your road to a healthy recovery. However, the four steps discussed below are perhaps the most important: ● Gather Information At the Scene of the accident. Without obtaining pertinent information, such as the other party’s contact information, driver’s license number and insurance information, you or your car accident attorney may not be able to successfully hold the negligent party liable for your injuries and property damage. ● Notify the Insurance Company. Once you have stabilized your injuries, you need to notify the at-fault party’s insurance carrier of your intention to pursue a claim for both property damage, as well as personal injuries. If the negligent party has already filed a claim, note the claim number and the contact information for the adjuster assigned to your claim. In most cases, a different adjuster is assigned to handle your personal injury and property claims separately. ● Consult With an Experienced Attorney. Perhaps one of the most important steps is to immediately consult with an experienced car accident lawyer to handle your personal injury claim. This is especially important if you have sustained serious injuries because hiring an attorney to handle the legal aspects of your claim will allow you to solely focus on your recovery.
