- Take a lot of photos of the scene, visible injuries and damages
- Obtain witness information
- Obtain insurance information from the operators of the other vehicles
And most importantly, get checked-out by medical professionals, whether that be a trip to the emergency room or a local medical clinic.

What You Should Not Do After a Car Accident
From disasters we have seen, staying by your vehicle on the road is not usually the safest way to go. It is usually safest to physically get off of the roadway to avoid being struck by oncoming traffic. This is especially true if the lighting is poor or weather conditions are bad.
Do not Sign Anything:Many times following a crash, insurance companies will have their adjusters contact you and make an immediate, but very low-ball offer. This can sometimes seem enticing, especially if you’re now out of work and can desperately use some immediate cash. But this is not likely going to be in your best interest and you should speak to an attorney before making such an important decision.
Don’t post things about the accident on social media sites. The attorneys or their investigators are known to comb your social media sites to see if there is anything available that will tend to show that you’re not as injured as you claim or you were hurt previously.
Rear-End Collisions Many Times Result in Whiplash
Anyone who has ever been struck from behind knows what a jarring event it is. It literally leaves you in a state of shock. Many rear-end collisions happen at stop signs, stop light and in heavy stop-and-go traffic. Because your adrenaline is running and you tense up, what starts out feeling like relatively minimal pain may be a tear that could require surgical intervention. As a practical matter, the hospital emergency room usually just takes x-rays for fractures and you will need to follow-up with other medical professional once released from ER to check for injuries that do not necessarily appear on x-ray films.
You might have whiplash if you are experiencing the following symptoms:
- Constant burning or tingling pain in your neck
- Migraines or chronic headaches
- Feeling nauseous
- Trouble remembering things
- Problems concentrating
