Post Car Accident

Directly after a car accident occurs, you may have several questions including:

It is imperative to remain at the scene of the accident. By leaving the scene, you are undertaking substantial legal liability and could undergo hit-and-run driver consequences. After ensuring everyone involved is safe, we recommend calling the police. A police report could be vital evidence for your claim.
