What To Do After A Traffic Accident

After your accident the most important thing to do is to record as much as possible. Memories can fade and often recall events differently compared to what actually happened.

Be sure to:

  1. Call 9-1-1 and report the incident
  2. Take photos of your vehicle, the opposing motorists vehicle, as well as any visible injuries.
  3. Collect the insurance and license of any other drivers involved
  4. Ask any witnesses for their contact information (phone number or email)
  5. Call Goldberg Finnegan for your legal representation needs
