Having a plan in place before something like that happens, will make it easier to work through the process even under duress. These steps below are crucial to gaining the information you&#8217;ll need if there are any substantial injuries at the fault of the other driver.<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0<strong>MAKE AN ACCURATE RECORD<\/strong>. When the police arrive, make sure you tell the investigating officer(s) exactly what happened, to the best of your ability. If you do not know certain facts, tell that to the officer. Do not speculate, guess or misstate any of the facts. If you are asked if you are injured and you are not sure, say you are not sure, rather than no. Often, the pain and injuries from motor vehicle accidents become apparent hours after the actual collision. You should also make sure statements made by other persons involved in the accident are accurate as well.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0<strong>TAKE PICTURES.<\/strong>\u00a0If you happen to have a camera in your vehicle, or a cell phone equipped with a camera, you should take pictures of the vehicles if there is visible damage. If you have visible injuries, you should photograph them as well. However, you should in no way interfere with the on-going police investigation. If you cannot take pictures at the scene of the accident, take them as soon as possible after the accident.<\/p>\n<p>3.\u00a0<strong>EXCHANGE INFORMATION<\/strong>. Typically, the investigating police officer obtains this information. However, if the police do not respond to the accident, you should obtain the name, address and telephone number of all persons involved in the accident, drivers and passengers alike. You should also obtain information about insurance by asking to see the insurance card for all vehicles involved in the accident. If there are witnesses, you should get information from them as well so that you or your attorney can contact them in the future. If police respond to the accident, the investigating officer usually will provide all drivers with a police report number. You can use that number later to obtain the police report. If the accident occurs on a state highway, you must request the report from the state police.<\/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.
