What To Do After A Car Accident In Sacramento, CA
While no one can predict a car accident, you can be prepared. Keeping a car accident checklist in your glove box can help you stay organized and calm after a crash. It outlines what to do, what not to do, and how to protect your rights. You are not alone after a collision, regardless of its severity.
Whether you are the injured party or a family member of a deceased victim, here’s what you should do following a car accident:
- Remain at the scene and check everyone’s condition. First, check yourself for injuries, then others. Stay composed and try to regain your calm.
- If possible, move your vehicle to the side of the road and turn on your emergency flashers to alert other drivers. Find a safe place to wait for the police.
- Report your accident to the authorities as soon as possible. The police will document the incident and gather information for an official record.
- Share names, phone numbers, and insurance details with the other driver(s). If possible, take photos of the vehicles, license plates, and other critical details.
- Avoid admitting fault or apologizing when talking to the police or others involved. Stick to the facts when describing the incident.
- Visit a hospital or your primary doctor immediately. Prompt medical care can help mitigate injury effects and identify internal injuries.
- California insurers have deadlines for reporting accidents. Contact your insurer promptly and follow the agent’s instructions.
- You may receive a call from the other party’s insurer soon after the accident. Be cautious with the information you share. Do not record statements or accept settlement offers before consulting an attorney.
- Keep all accident-related documents, including police reports, medical bills, and other important information, organized in a file.
