Steps to Take After a Car Accident in Augusta

Answer:

I get asked many times, “What should I do after a car wreck?” I had a client call me on my cell phone recently and ask me questions about what she should do after she had been rear-ended in a bad car wreck on Washington Road. If you’re visiting this page, you may have the same questions.

At the scene, make sure the authorities are called. If you’re able, get the names, addresses, and cell phone numbers of any witnesses. If you’re able, too, take photographs at the scene. Seek medical attention and do what the doctors say. Also, you may be contacted by an insurance adjuster for the opposing driver; do not talk to that insurance adjuster.

Lastly, once you’re stable, seek the advice of an attorney. Talk to an attorney that’s a trial lawyer whose core practice revolves around car wreck cases. If you have any questions, please call us. We’d be happy to help.
