If you are involved in an automobile accident, the following information may prove valuable:

The first thing you must do if you are involved in an automobile collision is stop. Obviously, call an ambulance if anyone is injured. Check each person involved in the collision to see if they have been injured. Call the police.

If possible you and the other driver must exchange information. You will want the other drivers name, address, phone number(s), drivers license number, insurance carrier, policy number and agents name and telephone number. You should also provide the same information to the other driver.

If there are any witnesses you should try to obtain their names, addresses and phone numbers before they leave. Also, if possible take photographs of the damage to your vehicle.

It is important to cooperate fully with the police when they arrive. If the police do not come to the scene of the accident, report the collision to the nearest police station as soon as possible. For any injury, no matter how slight you think it might be, you need to have a medical professional examine you. If your injuries persist you need to see a qualified medical professional for assistance and treatment. Your health comes first. Oftentimes injuries sustained in automobile accidents do not become symptomatic for hours or even days after the accident. It is essential to get medical documentation of these injuries as soon as they become apparent.

Future Considerations

If there are any witnesses you should try to obtain their names, addresses and phone numbers before they leave. Also, if possible take photographs of the damage to your vehicle.

If you have been injured document all of your losses. These losses can include your medical bills, reasonable transportation costs related to the injuries, future medical treatment, lost wages, future loss of earnings, the effect on your family, and the effect on your life. Oftentimes, if you have experienced a serious injury, it will be necessary to retain the services of experts to prove these damages. This will require the representation of an experienced attorney. If you have been injured because of the negligence of another driver, then contact an experienced Wisconsin Auto Accident Attorney for a free consultation.
