5 Things to Remember in a Traffic Accident 1. Remain calm and check on the condition of every person involved. If there is ANY possibility of injury call 911 immediately. 2. Take pictures of the entire scene from all angles before anything is moved including the other driver’s insurance card and identification. Request a police report be taken regardless of how minor the accident may seem. 3. Do not make any statements to anyone without consulting an attorney. Do not admit fault, even if you believe you are at fault. Do not sign anything other than police citations. 4. Seek medical attention if you believe you were injured in any way. Retain all medical information including hospitals, doctors, treatment information, etc. 5. Speak with an attorney as soon as possible. If you have been cited by law enforcement for the accident you will need representation in court. If you were injured as a result of another’s actions in the accident you may need representation to ensure you are fully compensated under the law for your damages or medical bills.
