Taking Control After Your Accident
What to Do Right Now to Protect Yourself
We know your heart is probably still pounding and you’re wondering how to handle things at the scene. As your Orlando and Tampa car accident attorney, here’s what we recommend:
- Stay at the Scene: It might feel tempting to just exchange information and leave, but Florida law requires you to stay and call police, then wait until they clear you to leave.
- Call 911: Even if you feel fine right now, call for medical help. Your body might be masking pain from the shock, and getting checked out protects both your health and your case.
- Document Everything: Use your phone to take photos of all the vehicles, where it happened, street signs, and any injuries you can see. Ask witnesses for their contact information too.
- Exchange Information: Get the other driver’s insurance card, license number, and phone number. Be prepared to share your information too—it’s required by law and makes everything smoother.
- Don’t Blame Yourself: When talking to police, stick to what you saw and what happened. It’s natural to say “I’m sorry” when you’re upset, but avoid statements that sound like you’re accepting responsibility.
- Don’t Give Recorded Statements: Insurance adjusters will call sounding very helpful, but they’re trained to get you to accept blame or downplay your pain. Don’t give recorded statements until you talk with our car accident lawyer.
