What to do when involved in a car accident

Do you know what to do when you have been involved in a car accident?

When you have been involved in a car accident, you are often in shock and it is common for people to overlook the simple things they should do immediately in order to protect their rights. So we have compiled a list of the top things you should do following an accident.

At the accident scene:-
1. Exchange details with any other drivers involved in the accident – take pictures of their driver licence if possible and/or record their name, address and phone number. You should also obtain the other driver’s insurance company details and record their vehicle registration number, make and model of vehicle. If the other driver fails to provide their details, then you can contact the police.
2. Take Photographs – of the scene, damaged vehicles and any other relevant items (such as injuries sustained, skid marks on the road etc)
3. Call the Police to report the accident.

Following the accident you should:-
1. Attend upon a Hospital or your local doctor ASAP if you are suffering pain or injuries.
2. Contact your vehicle’s Insurance company to report the accident if required.
3. Follow up with Police to ensure a Police Report has been completed.
4. Records details of the incident (such as date, time, location, how it occurred etc).
5. Keep receipts for all out-of-pocket expenses related to treatment, rehabilitation, medication, travel etc relating to the accident.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot recommend Stallion Lawyers highly enough. After being injured in a car accident two years ago, I reached out to Sarah for advice on making a claim when the accident wasn’t our fault. From the very beginning, Sara, along with her paralegal Julia, was incredible. Sarah kept me informed at every stage, explaining the process clearly and supporting me through what was a very challenging time both physically and emotionally. I honestly don’t know how I would have managed without her guidance and care. When it came to settlement, Sarah worked closely with her barrister to achieve the best possible outcome - one that has allowed me to start getting back on my feet after a tough few years. Stallion Lawyers is a boutique firm that genuinely cares about their clients, unlike the big firms that spend millions on advertising but don’t always prioritise your best result. Sarah and Julia do, and it shows in the outcomes they achieve. If I ever found myself in another personal injury situation, my first call would be to Sarah without hesitation. I’ve already recommended Stallion Lawyers to friends and family and will continue to spread the word. They really are exceptional.

Hi , I had Stallion Lawyers take my case when i a lady went through a red light and hit me while i was on my Harley i was of work 5 months and Sarah and her team was with me every stop of the way. they were fantastic. I listened to what they said and my wife and i was happy we had them on our side as nothing has ever happened to be in this situation before. I would recommend them 100% they are on your side and want you to get the best deal they can. Thank you, Sarah, for everything Glen.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I engaged Sarah from Stallion Lawyers 18 mths ago in a public liability claim against a council for a fall which resulted in me injuring my ankle. Her diligence in chasing me for invoices on expenses and making sure I followed up on things was excellent. When we went to settlement conference She gave me an expected settlement guideline expecting between x and y. After 3 hrs negotiations the settlement received was higher than the expected figure. Thank you so much Sarah.

They are caring, compassionate, will come to you if necessary and leave no stone unturned in settling your claim.  The tenacity and experience they have when working through all types of claims - but especially Workcover claims is just wonderful.  Highly recommend having a chat to them if you need a great personal injury lawyer.
