How to Protect Yourself in a Multi-Vehicle Accident
When you are involved in a multi-vehicle accident, it can be critical to take several steps to protect yourself and your right to recover compensation for your damages. In situations where you do not have serious injuries, you can do several things to improve your ability to protect your claim.
That starts with calling 911 to request help from law enforcement. Seek medical care for any injuries you have. Prior to leaving the accident scene, if it is safe to do so, take photos of your vehicle, the other vehicles involved, and any injuries you have. Be sure to exchange insurance and contact information with the others involved, and get the name and contact information for any witnesses, including passengers in other vehicles or those who stop to help.
