Follow These Steps, Then Call Metzger Wickersham
If you are in a car or truck accident, you will need to take certain steps and gather information to help your case.
- Get in touch with the police. Inform them if anyone is injured or if anyone is intoxicated.
- Collect the following from people involved in the accident (including drivers, passengers, pedestrians and witnesses):
- Full names
- Addresses
- Phone numbers
- License plate numbers
- Make and model of cars
- Insurance status of drivers
- Name of person to whom vehicle is registered
- Put down in writing details about the accident, including the date and time of the accident, the directions of the vehicles, how it occurred, the names and badge numbers of police offers who came to the scene, and any damage to the vehicles that you saw.
- Take pictures of the accident scene, including damage to vehicles, skid marks, street signs, and weather conditions. If you do not have a camera and you get in touch with Metzger Wickersham, our staff may be available to take photos for you.
- Get medical help. Go to your doctor even if you were not directly injured in the accident. Injuries, such as whiplash, sometimes are not felt until a few days after the accident.
- Call your insurance company as soon as possible. If you think that, for any reason, your insurance company is not going to cover the accident, contact Metzger Wickersham before you call your insurance company. Remember not to answer any questions or offer statements to the other drivers' insurance company before speaking to an attorney.
