- Stop your vehicle, no matter how minor the accident.
- Check to see if anyone is hurt. Call for an ambulance if needed.
- Call and Wait for Police. Cooperate fully with the Officer. Give only information necessary to explain how the accident happened. Never admit guilt. Anything you say can and will be used against you to defeat your compensation.
- Identify the other driver. Get their name, address, telephone numbers and insurance information.
- If possible take photos of the accident and anyone that is injured.
- You may need medical attention for injuries that are not apparent immediately after the accident. You should be seen by your doctor as soon as you can after the accident. Tell your doctor all of your complaints no matter how small they seem. If you need help getting medical attention contact David & Rizzi and we will assist you at no charge.
- Inform your insurance company of the accident, but do not give any information about what happened to the insurance adjuster (no matter what company is involved) until after you contact David & Rizzi.
- Do not speak with an insurance adjuster with the other drivers insurance company. Often times an insurance adjuster will contact you immediately after the accident attempting to obtain your release for a small amount of money. Dont assume the insurance adjuster is looking out for your best interest.
- Contact David & Rizzi. Before signing any statement other than the police report, consult someone who specializes in helping the injured. At David & Rizzi we have helped thousands of clients get the money they deserve for their injuries.
