Auto Accident Advice

There are several things worth considering if you are involved in an automobile accident:

• Should the other driver attempt to leave, write down the car's license number or other characteristics of the vehicle.
• Always call the police, cooperate fully, and obtain a police accident report. Be sure to tell the investigating officer if you think you might be hurt.
• Identify other witnesses who saw the accident. Get their names and telephone numbers.
• Do not speak with representatives of the other driver's insurance company.
• Seek medical care if you think you might be hurt and take it easy after the accident. Back injuries sometimes don't start hurting until several days after an accident.
• Don't let an insurance company push you around when you need to get reimbursed for your accident-related expenses and losses.
