Vancouver BC Personal Injury Lawyers - Stephens and Holman

An auto accident can happen quickly causing you to feel confused and unsure of what steps to take. The auto accident lawyers at Stephens & Holman provide residents of Surrey, British Columbia with the following information about what to do if you are involved in an auto accident.

Seek Medical Attention

If you have been injured in the auto accident, make sure you are seen by emergency medical personnel. You may need to be sent to the hospital for medical attention depending on what type of injury you have suffered.

If you were not injured in the accident, visit your primary care physician within the few days following the accident. Some injuries do not surface until about 24 hours after the accident. Your primary care physician will notice any injuries that you may have incurred and will treat you accordingly. Having documentation about your injuries by your physician will help you in your auto accident case.

Contact the Authorities

The police will make a detailed, unbiased report of the accident that is important for your auto accident case. They will ask you and the other drivers involved questions about the accident. Make sure to cooperate with them and answer all of their questions. Do not admit fault for the accident. Admitting fault will make getting compensation for your injuries difficult.

Gather Necessary Information

It is important to gather as much information as possible about the other drivers involved and about any witnesses. Write down:

• Names
• Contact information
• License plate numbers
• Makes and models of the vehicles
• Insurance information
