Procedures to Consider After an Accident

• Stop immediately and be careful. Stay calm and do what you can within reason to avoid blocking traffic. Be careful to not place yourself or others in a position where they may be hit by another passing vehicle. Especially at night, make sure that other vehicles can see the accident and avoid it. Remember that most will be confused by this sudden event and will not be thinking clearly.

• Check to see if anyone is injured. Give as much comfort as possible, but try not to move any person who is injured.

• Call the police and cooperate fully with the officer and all emergency personnel. Provide the information necessary to explain what happened, but do not give your opinions such as assuming you are guilty or at fault.

• Do not sign anything from an insurance adjuster, if one shows up at the scene. Also, do not give any statements to an adjuster.

• Get the names, addresses, and phone numbers of all witnesses, if possible. Make a mental note of what witnesses say, like, "That black car was flying."

• See a doctor as soon as possible. If emergency personnel think you should go to the hospital, comply with their advice. They are the professionals on the scene who may be able to best evaluate your condition.

• Inform your insurance company of the collision, as soon as it is practically possible. Before signing or giving any recorded statements, consult a law firm that specializes in helping those who have been injured in Florida.

• Call John Bales. Our Florida auto accident lawyers and case managers have helped hundreds of clients get the money they deserved for their injuries.
