The moments after a collision are confusing, and what you do next can protect both your health and your ability to seek accountability. If you are able, take these steps after a crash:
▪️ Call for medical help and get checked even if you feel fine
▪️ Document the scene with photos of the vehicles, the road, and your injuries
▪️ Gather names and contact information from the other driver and any witnesses
▪️ Avoid giving recorded statements to insurers before speaking with an attorney
Injuries can surface hours later, and evidence at the scene disappears fast, so acting quickly makes a difference. When another driver's negligence caused your injuries, call Carlson Injury Law at 801-845-4577.
