A car accident took place on Park Boulevard near Morning Glory Road in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey. Very little information was initially available, but the crash was significant enough to close down the roadway for some time. Drivers had to use alternative routes as the scene was investigated by police and cleaned up.
Police did not initially provide information about what happened or how many vehicles were involved.
Consider the Importance of an Investigation
When involved in an accident, one of the most important steps victims can take is to start gathering evidence immediately. By the time police arrive, the other driver may flee the scene.
Once police arrive, victims should detail as much as they know about what caused the accident. This allows police to investigate all causes and determine fault. Police will look at debris, skid marks, and other data from the local area. They will then investigate factors like the extent of damage and witness statements to determine who is at fault.
If you are in a car accident like this, but you are assigned fault even when you did not cause the accident, it can be critical to seek legal representation. Your attorney will investigate and build a case for you, documenting what your losses are along the way. Without an attorney, you may be unable to file a claim.
