  1. Here’s What to Do When You Get in a Car Accident

  2. Every single day, all across Florida, someone is involved in a road accident. In fact, if you drive a car, there is a strong likelihood is that at some point in your life you will be involved in a road collision. But, do you know what to do when you get in a car accident? Many drivers don’t. And that lack of knowledge can be costly. Here’s Miami Personal Injury Lawyers from Dante Law Firm, P.A. can help you in case like yours. Dante Law Firm, P.A. represents people who have been seriously injured in an accident as well as the families of those who have been killed under wrongful death circumstances. In a car accident, everyone involved will have their own particular agenda. Complying with these law requirements at the time of the accident is an important first step in protecting your interests.

  3. THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE ON WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU GET IN A CAR ACCIDENT 1 First Things First — The Law It’s important to know what the law requires you to do when you’re involved in an accident. ▫ You must stop and stay at the scene of the accident. ▫ You must get help for anyone who is injured as a result of the accident . ▫ You are also required to report the accident to the local police department, sheriff or the Florida Highway Patrol if the accident involves any damage or any injuries that will exceed $500.

  4. ASSESS THE SITUATION AND CHECK ON EVERYONE INVOLVED 2 Immediately after the accident, if you are in a position to do so, quickly assess your own safety and the safety of anyone else involved. If the cars are blocking traffic or your safety or the safety of others is in danger, try to move the cars to a safe place. This is important if there is a chance of further smash-ups or pile-ups if the cars remain where they are. After you’ve assessed the safety of the car positions, it’s important to make sure that anyone else involved in the accident is okay.

  5. 3 GATHER INFORMATION Collecting information at the scene is vitally important, not only for your insurance company but for your accident lawyer as well. Here’s what to do when you get in a car accident: ● Names ● Numbers ● Addresses ● Drivers’ license numbers ● License plate numbers ● Insurance information ● If there are passengers, obtain their names, numbers, and addresses.

  6. 4 DOCUMENT EVERYTHING YOU CAN After an accident, information can become hazy or confused. Documentation is best acquired at the scene and in the moment. For documentation, here’s what to do when you get in a car accident: ● If you have a smartphone, you can take pictures of any damage to yourself ● You can also take pictures of the vehicles and the damage done to those vehicles ● You might consider filming a video of the crash scene, the damage, etc ● You may also want to record yourself explaining the sequence of events

  7. 5 SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION Even if you do not feel that you are seriously injured, it is always best to be seen by a medical professional. Be aware that some injuries do not immediately show up. Some soft tissue injuries and some brain injuries take hours or even days to make themselves known. In terms of protecting your interests, your medical records will help your attorney establish the severity of your injuries. As a result, it’s important they are documented. Be sure to take pictures of all injuries, such as bruises, broken bones, lacerations, etc.
