Attorney Eric Blank

Don’t leave the scene of an accident, whether you are at fault or not. Contact the police immediately so they can document what happened with an official report.

Admitting fault, apologizing, or minimizing possible injuries can all be used against you later in a case. Be careful what you say to others on the scene of an accident.

Take photos and videos of the vehicles involved in the accident. These, along with ones of your injuries, and of the other driver’s information, can be beneficial to your case.

No matter how severe your injury is, it is important to seek medical treatment. This will help you heal faster and having a record of treatment on scene will help your case.

Don’t deal with insurance companies alone. People who hire attorneys receive higher compensation, even after fees. You owe it to yourself to consult with an attorney.
