What To Do if You’re Involved in a Car Accident



A car accident is a frightening, often dangerous event that most of us seem to experience at one point or another in our lifetimes. If you’re involved in an accident, hopefully it’ll only be a harmless fender bender, but you should always be prepared. As an experienced LA accident lawyer we certainly have our fair share of experiences when it comes to traffic accidents, and if one happens to you, this is what you should do:



Contact the police. The police are an important part of the process if a car accident takes place. Ask if a police report is being filled, and take note of the badge numbers of the officers who arrive.
 
Stay on scene. Don’t leave until it’s appropriate to do so. If you do, you could be charged as a hit-and-run driver.


Exchange info. Get the full contact info of everyone involved including passengers.
 
Take Pictures. Collecting pictures of any damage will be useful with your insurance company to help determine fault and how much to compensate. 


Consider hiring a lawyer if you experience personal injury. As an experienced attorney in Los Angeles, the law offices of Law offices of Burg & Brock have your back.
