If you are involved in a car accident, knowing the right steps to take can make the situation less stressful, and can affect on the outcome of your claim. If you have any questions about your collision, call our team of attorneys in our offices in Springfield and Joplin.

Make sure you are prepared and informed with these helpful tips. After a car accident, remember to:

  • Move your vehicle out of danger
  • Pull over to the side so that your vehicle is safe and out of traffic; turn on your hazard lights so vehicles passing by know that you are pulled over
  • Check if you or anyone is injured
  • Check to see if you or your passengers have been injured
  • If anyone needs medical attention, call for an ambulance immediately
  • Call the police
  • Wait for the police to arrive; they will write up a report, so request a copy of that report as well
  • Collect information
  • Try to gather as much information about the other driver, their insurance information, take photographs of the scene, witness contacts, and anything else that may be helpful; the more evidence you have, the stronger your claim will be
  • Seek medical treatment
  • Some injuries can appear minor at first, but may lead to health complications if left untreated; it is important that you always follow up with a doctor regarding your injuries
