CAR ACCIDENTS IN US: Involved in a Car Accident? Follow These Tips

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, over
42,000 people were killed in auto accidents in the United States in
2005 alone. That statistic is staggering and amounts to one death
every 13 seconds. Some occupations require that people spend more
time in their automobile per day than anywhere else. We rely on our
vehicles and often take driving for granted. According to statistics,
everyone will either be in an accident [1] or know someone who is
involved in an accident [2] in his or her lifetime.

Car accidents can be very traumatic and it can be very difficult to
think clearly and make the right decisions following an auto accident
[3]. In the aftermath of an accident [4] the last thing you want to
do is deal with taking down information, taking pictures, exchanging
information, etc. However, if you want to ensure that you are covered
and compensated, there are many necessary things you should know and
be prepared to deal with after being involved in a car accident [5].

At the site of the accident [6] you should gather the following
information:

• Exchange information. Be sure to obtain and exchange all
information (name, phone number, license plate number, insurance
information, etc.) from all driver's involved in the accident [7].

• Take pictures. If you have the ability, take photos of the
accident [8] site, damage to the vehicle, as well as any visible signs
of physical injuries to those involved in the accident [9].

• Police. Be sure to get a copy of any police report that is filed.

• Eyewitnesses. Obtain all information, including name, address,
and phone number, of any witnesses of the accident [10].

After the accident [11], follow these steps to help ensure your claim
[12] and compensation is handled correctly and runs smoothly:

• Expenses. Keep records of all medical expenses and copies of all
bills.

• Time off work. Keep track of how much work time was missed due to
injuries suffered as a result of the auto accident [13].

• School time. Keep track of how many school days were missed.

• Take pictures. Continue to take pictures throughout your recovery
process and be sure to document the date the picture was taken.

• Car repair. Keep track of all expenses spent on repairing your
vehicle and copies of all bills.
