Immediate Steps After an Atlanta Car Accident
When you’re shaken up after a wreck, the steps you take within the first 24–48 hours can make or break your claim. We recommend:
- Call 911 and get medical help:
– Even if you feel “fine,” soft-tissue and concussion injuries often surface hours later.
– A prompt EMS evaluation creates vital medical records. - Document the scene with your phone:
– Photos: wide shots of all vehicles, skid marks, road signs, traffic signals.
– Videos: walk around each car, narrate what you see.
– Voice memos: record details like weather, road conditions, driver statements. - Exchange and record all information:
– Driver names, phone numbers, insurance companies and policy numbers, license-plate numbers, VINs.
– Witness contact info and brief statements. - Preserve evidence:
– Don’t apologize or admit fault at the scene.
– Avoid posting photos or details on social media.
– Leave vehicles in their post-crash position until police arrive.
Notify your insurer and call us ASAP: Early notice prevents coverage gaps.
