The Process from Collision – Recovery – Collection
The Scene of the Car AccidentIf you are involved in a car accident, then you should immediately contact emergency personnel and/or a local police department. A police officer will be dispatched to the scene to secure the location, observe the scene, and take statements from those involved in the accident and any witnesses.
The officer will ensure that all of the appropriate information is taken from the parties and recorded. In addition, the officer will prepare a detailed report that will be used by the insurance company in evaluating your claim.
Police involvement will increase the accuracy of the information processed by the insurance company. In addition, it will reduce the likelihood of faulty recollections being presented by someone at a later date as well as identifying material eyewitnesses.
TreatmentIf you are injured and medical treatment is necessary, you should immediately start receiving care. Often times, someone may believe that they sustained only a mild injury that will go away with time. However, a mild injury may become worse and require ongoing medical treatment.
Accordingly, if you have pain immediately seek medical attention!
