If you feel that you&#8217;ve been injured in the accident because of the other person&#8217;s negligence, you will definitely want to follow these next steps along with getting a lawyer to handle your case. The following is a list of the first 3\u00a0things you should do if you are in an automobile accident:<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0<strong>STOP<\/strong>. Never drive away from the scene of an accident, even a minor one.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0<strong>PROTECT THE SCENE<\/strong>. You can prevent further accidents by setting up flares, or keeping your flashers on. If it is dark and your lights don&#8217;t work, you should have a flashlight to keep you safe while you wait in your disabled car or by the side of the road.<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0<strong>CALL THE POLICE<\/strong>. Even if there are no serious injuries, it is a good idea to call the police. You may need a police report to file a claim with your insurance company, even if it is just to make a claim for damage to your vehicle. The vehicles involved in the accident should remain where they are, unless they interfere with traffic.<\/p>\n<p><em>Since 1989, the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/clekis.com\/service\/personal-injury\/\">personal injury<\/a>\u00a0attorneys of Clekis Law Firm have been representing injured people and their families in Charleston and throughout the Low Country.
