What to Do After an Auto Accident

What Should You to Do After a Car Accident?

With so many concerns after your car accident, it can be hard to figure out what to do first. Worrying about your injuries while trying to deal with the insurance company and other parties is difficult, but with an experienced personal injury lawyer at your side you can take proper steps towards a full recovery. At the Timothy V. Pickell Law Offices in Kansas City, we are dedicated to helping Missouri and Kansas auto accident victims get the medical care they need and proper compensation they deserve.

Don't Face Insurance Companies Alone • Contact the Timothy V. Pickell Law Offices

In addition to contacting an experienced personal injury attorney, there are a number of things you want to take care of after your car accident or trucking accident. At your side throughout the process, we will help you do everything you can to protect your rights. Important actions include:

  • Making a police report
  • Getting the name, address, phone number and insurance information from other drivers
  • Taking photos if at all possible while on the scene. If you do not have a camera available at the time, take pictures of the scene and any vehicle damage as soon as you can.
  • Contacting your own insurance company quickly
  • Getting medical attention quickly. Do not wait. Protecting yourself medically and documenting your injuries will help you in the long run. Not seeking treatment could jeopardize your case.
  • Getting the names and phone numbers of independent witnesses who were not part of the accident

We focus on clear communication with our clients, so you can take the necessary steps after your accident and increase your chances of getting the compensation you deserve promptly.
