Q: WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I AM INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT?
A: First and foremost, one should never leave the scene of an accident, even if you were not at fault. Doing so can result in criminal charges. If you or anyone else sustained injuries, call for emergency medical attention. If your injuries appear to be minor, you might not need to get transported to an emergency room, but you should still see a doctor as soon as possible since there is still a possibility they are worse than you think. You should never apologize or admit liability at the scene of an accident or this could be used against you later, ruining your chances at compensation. Remember to obtain any pertinent information, including names, phone numbers, addresses, driver’s license information, license plate numbers, etc.
