After an Auto Accident
If you get into a traffic accident in Phoenix, chances are that you will be shaken up and unable to think straight. To that end, print out this page and keep it in your glove box for quick reference.
1. Keep your head and calmly assess the situation
Whether you've been rear-ended at a traffic light, or you've careened off an embankment, chances are that you are feeling jittery. Possibly, you are in shock. Take a deep breath and strive to calmly assess the situation. Does anyone at the scene need immediate medical attention? Is the car precariously positioned on the road? What are the immediate next steps that you and your fellow passengers must take to get out of harm's way and deal with injuries?
2. Do not admit liability or fault
Instead, collect facts. Get names, numbers, driver's license information, addresses, and other info from people involved in the Arizona car accident. Don't just get the license plate of the car or a truck that hit you. Also get vehicle identification numbers (VIN) and insurance information.
3. File a report with the police
A legal accident report can be important if you later choose to file a claim. Be descriptive, but do not discuss fault with the police. You may want to have a police officer directly talk with your insurance agent. After all, if you are shaken up and in shock, you might not be able to coherently describe the situation, and any confusion you create can complicate how your claim is processed.
4. Consider connecting with an Arizona personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
