  • #3. Obtain a copy of the police report. Ask for a copy of the responding officer’s police report. This can help support your accident claim down the line.
  • #4. Take photos. Take photos of any injuries and property damage sustained at the accident scene.
  • #5. Contact an experienced attorney. With the help of a qualified personal injury attorney, you may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and more.
