What You Do After an Accident Matters
There was no information provided about the vehicles involved in this accident, nor if anyone was hurt. While the fire department worked to clear the scene and protect the community, it can be critical for victims to know what to do after a crash to protect their right to compensation.
That starts with carefully documenting all aspects of the accident as soon as possible. If it is safe to do so, take photos of the accident and damage to the roadways. Capture a video showing the vehicles’ locations and any conditions contributing to the accident. Then, get medical care, even if you feel okay. Doing so helps protect you from further risk of injury.
