Steps to Take After the Accident
After your car accident, it's important that you:
- Call the police.
Police need to be present if anyone was injured in the accident. You can obtain a copy of the officer's report by contacting your local police department. - Record accident details.
If you're able, take pictures of the accident, including the damage to your car, other cars involved, and any skid marks on the road. This evidence may help your lawyer prove the accident wasn't your fault. - Don't admit fault.
Even if you think you may have been partially responsible for the accident, never admit fault to the other drivers, police officers, or medical personnel. This can hurt your chances of getting compensation.
Following these steps will help gather strong evidence that the car accident attorneys at Michigan Injury Lawyers can use when building your claim.
