If you are hit by another motorist, there are certain steps you should take to protect your legal rights and enhance the viability of a personal injury claim. After an accident, make sure to seek medical attention, even if you think the injuries are “not serious.” It is also a good idea to obtain as much information as possible from the other motorist, including:
The full name, home address, phone number, and driver’s license information, of the other motorist;The insurance company information for the other motorist; andThe license plate number of the other vehicle;In addition to securing information from the other driver, make sure to take pictures of your vehicle, the other vehicle, and any visible injuries you suffered with your cell phone. If there were any witnesses who saw the collision (e.g., a passenger in your vehicle or the other driver’s vehicle), then you should make sure to get their contact information as well.
You also need to make sure the police arrive at the scene of the collision and a report is filed. This is important because a police report will provide a vital piece of evidence for assessing liability and describing how the car accident occurred.
