HERE'S WHAT TO DO
1. Safety First
- Quickly assess the scene.
- Make sure you and other passengers are safe.
- Move to a safe place away from traffic and damaged vehicles.
2. Call The Police
- It is important to have the police gather crucial evidence to prove intoxication.
- You cannot always count on an intoxicated person to remember or honestly recount the event.
3. Seek Medical Help
- Serious injuries may not be immediately obvious.
- Evidence of your injuries can help your case. The shock from the accident can delay the physical impact.
- You may suffer from whiplash, bruising, internal bleeding, or brain injuries.
4. Document Everything
- The other driver’s contact info.
- Vehicle information.
- The location.
- The responding police.
- The driver’s condition.
- Where the driver had been and where they were going.
- Photograph the accident.
5. Talk To An Attorney
- In legal matters, there are few opportunities for a “do-over”.
- An attorney can provide advice and peace of mind to a complex situation.
- Hiring a lawyer can protect against unscrupulous insurance adjusters.
6. Report To Insurance
- Insurance can be a positive factor.
- There are opportunities to negotiate with insurance companies to receive better compensation.
