South Carolina Auto Accident Attorneys

Auto accidents are the leading cause of injury and death in the United States. Every year about 6 million people in this country are involved in auto accidents, out of which about 40,000 are fatal. Two million of these are serious or major injury crashes, including severe trauma to the brain and spinal cord. Such injuries can result in lifelong disabilities. With these high numbers of auto accidents, the odds are stacked up against you. If you drive to and from work everyday or live in a big city, there is always the chance that you could be involved in an automobile accident – major or minor.

WHAT TO DO IMMEDIATELY AFTER AN AUTO ACCIDENT

There are many important steps you should take soon after an automobile accident occurs. The first thing you should do after an auto accident is to call the police and file an accident report, providing that your physical condition permits it. Filing a report with the police or the highway patrol will document the facts of the auto accident and may help investigators later determine who was at fault. Do not underestimate the value of a police report. It’s important even if no one has apparently been injured. Some accident injuries, such as whiplash, are not immediately felt.

Also, try to gather as much information as possible such as:

• Name, address, insurance information and driver’s license of the parties involved
• Photos of the accident scene, if possible
• Names and contact information of potential witnesses to the incident
