Orlando Car Accident Attorneys - Payer Law Group

Stop and leave your vehicles at the scene: After the crash, do not leave the scene. Any driver involved in an auto accident must remain at the scene until the accident is reported and investigated.

Assist injured drivers and passengers: The first priority at the scene of an auto accident is to care for the injured. Try to get medical attention immediately if needed.

Preserve the scene of the accident: It is important to preserve the scene of the accident as much as possible. Vehicles should not be moved unless they are obstructing traffic. Before moving any vehicle, carefully note its position. Make a list of witnesses if possible.

Report the Accident to Authorities: By dialing 911 the operator will automatically report the accident to the appropriate law enforcement agency. All accidents involving even the slightest injuries should be reported to authorities and a accident report completed. This documentation and the fault normally assigned by the investigating officer/trooper will help in any later insurance or injury claims.

Take Photographs of the Scene: In an effort to document both liability and the seriousness of the accident, where possible, use a camera or even cellular phone to take pictures of the overall accident scene and the damage to all of the vehicles involved.

Report the Accident to your Insurance Company: Make sure to contact your insurance company as soon as possible after the accident so they can begin the process of opening a claim for you and providing benefits they may owe you such as PIP and medical payments coverages. If you should have any questions, please contact the Payer Law Group.
