What you should and shouldn’t do after a car accident
Being in a car accident can be a confusing and stressful experience. At KLAIMS.com we want to guide you with a clear checklist of what you should do and what you shouldn’t do to protect your health, your rights, and your compensation.
What you SHOULD do
1. Stay calm
Assess the situation and make sure you have the key contact numbers handy, including KLAIMS.com, so we can guide you through your claim.
2. Call the authorities
Report the accident to the police and request an official report; it will be essential for your insurance claim or any legal action.
3. Gather information from everyone involved
Exchange names, phone numbers, addresses, insurance details, and license plate numbers. If there are witnesses, get their information as well.
4. Take photographs
Document the scene: vehicle damage, traffic signs, and any detail that can support your case.
5. Seek immediate medical attention
Even if injuries seem minor, some appear later. It’s crucial to have them documented from the start.
6. Contact KLAIMS.com
This is the most important step: we connect you with specialized attorneys who will fight for the compensation you deserve.
What you should NOT do
1. Do not admit fault
Avoid any comments that could be interpreted as accepting responsibility. Let the authorities and insurance companies determine who is at fault.
2. Do not leave the scene
Stay at the location until the police arrive and the report is completed. Leaving early can lead to serious legal consequences.
3. Do not argue with other drivers
Stay calm. Any confrontation can complicate your case and work against you.
4. Do not fail to notify your insurer
Even if you are not at fault, report the accident immediately. Provide basic information, but avoid statements without the guidance of a lawyer.
5. Do not delay getting legal advice
A lawyer specialized in personal injury protects your rights and maximizes your compensation.
6. Do not ignore KLAIMS.com
