What to Do After a Distracted Driving Accident

Ensure Safety and Get Medical Help: First and foremost, check yourself and others for injuries. Call 911 for any immediate medical needs. Even if you feel fine, it’s important to get a medical evaluation as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.

Document the Scene: If you can, take photos of the accident scene, including all vehicles involved, any visible injuries, and road conditions. Gather contact information from witnesses and the distracted driver.

Call the Police: Report the accident to the police and ensure an official report is filed. This report will be essential for your insurance claim and any potential legal action.

Preserve Evidence: Keep all relevant evidence, such as your damaged vehicle, medical records, and any communications from the at-fault driver or their insurance company.

Avoid Making Statements: Be cautious about what you say at the scene and to insurance adjusters. Do not admit fault or provide detailed statements until you’ve spoken with a lawyer.

Consult a Distracted Driving Accident Lawyer: Before engaging with insurance companies, seek advice from a lawyer experienced in distracted driving cases. They can help you understand your rights and build a strong case for compensation.
