Car Accident Attorneys - Safety Tips

Serving Buffalo, New York

Depending on their severity, car accidents can cause confusion and disorientation, mild or severe injuries, and even fatalities. It can be very difficult to remember what to do in the moments following a car accident.

Whether you are a resident or a tourist who has been involved in a car accident in the Niagara or Buffalo, New York area, you should follow the steps below.

• Move your car to the side of the road – if possible, move it to safety so no other vehicles will collide with it.
• Call an ambulance – if you think that you or your passenger has been injured, you should error on the side of safety and call 911 to get an ambulance right away.
• Obtain as much information about the other party as possible – make sure you get driver’s license numbers, insurance information and vehicle information for all parties involved.
• Identify any potential witnesses – if anyone near the accident scene saw what happened, ask him or her to stay until the police have arrived. The witnesses you find could play a key role in any personal injury lawsuits that take place in the future.
• Take photographs of the accident scene – if you have a camera on you or can get access to one, take multiple photos of the accident scene. Focus these pictures on the damage to the vehicles, the road signs present and any skid marks on the road. Photograph detail of damage and injuries as well as more panoramic views of the area that show the relationships between vehicles, intersections, road signs etc. These pictures could be used to help prove your case if a lawsuit is filed.
• Call an experienced lawyer – if you have been injured, a personal injury lawyer is the best person to advise you of your legal rights and make sure you don’t do anything that could jeopardize your right to file a lawsuit in the future. Most car accident attorneys don’t charge legal fees unless the case is won or settled out of court.
• Schedule a doctor appointment – even if you don’t think you’re injured, you should make an appointment to rule out any internal trauma. Some injury symptoms aren’t evident until many days or weeks following a car accident. Whiplash injuries are a famous instance of this.
• Focus on your recovery – the experts at John Feroleto Attorneys at Law can take care of any legal action you need to take. Our car accident attorneys will fight hard to get you all the compensation you may deserve, and we never charge a fee unless your case is won or settled out of court.
