The crash happened at about 11:10 a.m. on November 4.

What to do after an accident

• Before anything else, seek medical attention if you have been hurt.
• Get to a safe place to prevent further damage or injury.
• Collect as much information as possible: insurance and contact information of people involved in the accident, pictures/videos of vehicles involved, documentation of fault, and whatever else that can be used for evidence.
• File a police report or incident report by calling 911.
• Hire an experienced personal injury attorney from Sweet Lawyers.

Hiring a Personal Attorney

The most valuable step you can take in response to a vehicle crash is hiring a personal injury attorney. Mark Sweet, a personal injury attorney at Sweet Lawyers, says that serious car accident cases may call for a separate investigation spearheaded by an experienced lawyer fighting on behalf of a party. Oftentimes, injuries are not reported until it is too late.
