Reasons Not to Forget to Document Your Car Accident

For the most part, everyone knows to be careful out on the road during the blizzard. As an Omaha personal injury attorney, our office typically receives more calls following the storm.

It’s often when the weather begins to clear up and the snow starts to melt that we see the most serious car accidents occur. Just because the weather is bad and you may be in a hurry, do not forget to properly document your accident. Make sure to gather any information from the other drivers involved, as well as from any potential witnesses.

Take down all insurance information and make sure to take photographs of any resulting damage, as well as the location of the accident. If you suffered any injuries as a result of the accident, make sure to seek proper treatment. Be careful when dealing with insurance carriers and contact a local injury attorney to discuss any options you may have before attempting to negotiate a settlement.
