What Barboursville-area drivers should do after an accident:
First, check to assess any injuries and determine if you need immediate medical attention. The next step would be to obtain any important information you may need in order to file for an insurance claim. Most importantly:
Seek medical treatment and document visible and nonvisible injuries
Be sure to check over everyone in your vehicle and document any injuries. You may not see any immediate evidence of injuries because the body trauma from the seat belts or other bangs and bumps may appear days later. See the doctor to have your injuries assessed fully. Take photos of all injuries; make notes to keep track of the names of any doctors, therapists, or specialists who treat you, so you can receive proper reimbursement.
Do not admit fault for the accident
Even though being in an accident is a very stressful situation, please remember to not accept fault for the accident until your lawyer has a chance to assess all the factors involved. The attorneys at Bailey Legal Services do a thorough investigation and review all the conditions of the event to determine cause in order to prove who is at fault.
Be sure to collect evidence
Right at the scene, if you are able, take photos of anything that may help your claim later, whether it is the roadway, obstacles, markers, and vehicles (their placement and any damages), along with any documentation that may be of assistance in proving fault. Other suggested types of information to collect, if possible, might be whether the other party may be driving under the influence or may have been operating the vehicle with some impairment—such as an overweight load or other hazard that may have factored into the accident.
