Steps To Take After a Car Accident in Florida
If you’ve been in a car accident, it’s essential to act fast. Remember, insurance companies are not your friends. They will do everything in their power to undervalue your claim or avoid making a payout altogether. You must take immediate measures to protect your interests.
- Call the Police
Report the accident to the police immediately. Be sure to tell the officers your side of the story and request a copy of the police report. - Document the Scene
If you can, take photos and videos of the scene of the accident, including the vehicles involved, their license plates, and the road and weather conditions. - Seek Medical Attention
Seek medical care as soon as possible, even if you feel fine at first — some injuries may not be immediately apparent. This also helps document the type and severity of your injuries for your claim. - Notify Your Insurance Company
Let your insurer know about the accident promptly, but don’t give a recorded statement or share details before retaining an attorney. Insurance companies will often try to trick you into saying seemingly innocuous things that can compromise your claim. - Contact a Lawyer
Call an experienced auto accident lawyer as soon as you can after the accident. They will advise you on next steps and what to do to maximize your chances of success.
