Who should you talk to following a car accident?
If you have been involved in a car accident or a collision with other types of vehicle then there are particular procedures that you should follow after the event. These include checking both the extent of damage and whether anyone involved has sustained personal injuries as well as either taking photographs or sketching a diagram of the car accident scene to help when you later pursue a car accident compensation claim.
Following a car accident there are also a number of people that you should make it your duty to talk to: the emergency services, the police, your insurance provider and YouClaim's 24-hour expert no win, no fee claim advisors.
The emergency services
If after assessing the scene you realise that there are casualties you should contact the emergency services. Refrain from trying to help those that have suffered serious personal injury, unless you are a qualified first aider. You should then wait with the injured parties until an ambulance arrives.
The police
Contact the police so that they can file a legal accident report even if you have just been involved in a minor collision. Do not leave the accident scene until you have done so. It is important that you only discuss the circumstances of the car crash with the police and your insurance company otherwise rumours of fault and liability may get out of hand and ultimately have an adverse effect on your no win, no fee claim.
Insurance company
Contact your insurance company as soon as possible after the car accident occurs. The police may be able to assist you with giving them accurate information that can be used to aid your insurance claim. If you find that you cannot make an adequate personal injury compensation claim through your car insurance company then you may need to seek the help of a personal injury claim firm who employ no win, no fee solicitors specialising in this kind of litigation.
