When an accident occurs, it is important to record as much data as you can about the circumstances surrounding the accident as quickly as you can. For example, if you are involved in a car accident, you might want to call the police to have them make a report about the scene, such as the position of cars, skid marks, and so on. If possible you should have someone take photos or videos of the scene of the accident as soon as possible after the accident. You might record a torn carpet, damaged step, or spilled food that has caused a fall or skid marks and broken glass from a car accident. You will also want to get the names and contact information of any witnesses to the accident. Anyone who is injured in an accident should seek medical care as soon as possible to find out what injuries have been caused by the accident and to minimize injury. Documenting these details early on will help you determine key issues, such as fault and amount of damages, when the time comes. It will also keep you from forgetting important details.
Contacting an Attorney
Unless your injuries were very minor (i.e. very minor soft tissue injury from a 5 MPH fender bender), you should consult with an attorney very soon after your accident. A good personal injury attorney can help you gather key evidence and provide valuable advice on how to document your injuries and damages. Under no circumstances should you talk to an attorney representing the other person in the accident, the other person's insurance company representative, or sign any documents, before consulting with your own attorney first.
