WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE INJURED
These suggestions are expressed for an auto accident, however, most of the suggestions will still be applicable in any type of personal injury claim.
- Call police immediately at 911 if you or anyone is hurt and/or if there is damage to vehicles or property.
- Keep calm. Make no statements to anyone about the accident, or who might have been at fault. Do not answer questions about the accident for anyone except the police or medical personnel.
- If possible, write down the date, time and place of the accident. Or do so as soon as you can afterwards. (See form below)
- If possible, exchange driver's license and vehicle registration and insurance information with other parties involved.
- If possible, get names and addresses of witnesses.
- Write down the name, badge number and jurisdiction (i.e., Philadelphia, Cherry Hill) of the police officer taking your accident report.
- If possible, take photographs of the scene and vehicles involved.
- Describe the accident to the police as simply as possible. Do not assess or accept blame.
- If another party's insurance company or investigator asks you to sign any papers or provide a written or recorded statement, do not do so without first consulting with us.
