At the scene of a car accident it is important to remember to gather information about the car accident if you are able. For many of our clients this is not always possible due to the nature and extent of the accident and personal injury. At a minimum be alert to the other driver's identification information. A car license tag number can mean all the difference. Be aware of potential witnesses. Names, addresses and telephone numbers can be the missing link to vital information. In most cases the police will arrive at the traffic accident and the officer will secure information about the car accident that will be important later. However, if you are able, do not leave your case to chance. But rest assured that in the most serious of cases when our clients are simply not able to secure information due to the extent of the injury we are still able to gather the information by use of investigators. It is always important to seek medical attention if required. There is no problem with seeing the family doctor, if that is who you are familiar with and that is who you trust. Generally, in my experience the family practice doctors are not accustomed to handling the injury cases. Proper medical attention is mandated. DO NOT speak to the other drivers insurance company.
