What to do following a Car Accident

Many people are in shock after a car accident, and it is important to get help from the emergency services if needed. It is not always easy to assess the extent of any injuries or damage at the scene of the car accident. If the police and ambulance service attend, they will have information that will be useful if you need to make a car accident claim.

You will need the name and address of the other drivers and passengers, and any witnesses. Photographs of the accident scene and of damaged vehicles can be very useful later in the Compensation Claims Process. Whether you think the car accident was definitely someone else's fault or not, it may be sensible to get some early independent advice about other aspects of the car accident claim.

The National Accident Helpline specialist solicitors will help you. You should also complete an Accident Report Form for your own insurers, your solicitor can help you do this. The car accident must be reported to your insurers, and if there were car accident injuries, to the police.
