With nearly 6.5 million car accidents occurring in the U.S each year, there is a significant likelihood that each of us will eventually be involved in one. Injuries suffered in an auto accident can vary from minor to major and they may leave small bruises or be fatal.

After A Car Accident

If you are involved in a car or semi truck collision in Georgia, no matter how minor, make sure you stay at the scene of the accident until the police arrive. Document everything you can by taking photographs and/or video on your cell phone. Whatever you do, do not admit fault at the scene of an accident, but answer the questions of law enforcement offices honestly. Obtain other drivers’ and witnesses’ contact information; driver’s license numbers; insurance policy information; license plate numbers; and, if possible, take photos of the crash scene. Seek proper medical attention at the nearest ER immediately and document all the treatment you receive.

Never discuss the accident or your injuries with the defendant’s insurance company until you’ve consulted an experienced Waynesboro injury and accident attorney. An experienced accident attorney can advise you how to proceed in order to protect your rights.
