What to do if you are in an accident:

1.  If you are injured get medical help, call 911 and wait for the police and an ambulance.  It’s best to remain at the scene of an accident.

2.  When the police arrive tell them what happened. Do not discuss what happened with anyone else.

3.  Take down the names, addresses and phone numbers of any witnesses to the accident-The police do not always include all witnesses in the police report.

4.  Take photographs of your injuries, the damage to the automobile in the case of a motor vehicle accident, and the scene of the accident as soon after the accident as you can. A good picture is worth a thousand words.

5. Don’t sign any documents or releases of information unless you are advised to do so by your attorney. You may waive important legal rights without knowing it.
