What To Do After A Car AccidentOf course, first and foremost, never leave the scene of an auto accident. Leaving the scene of an accident, even if you are not at fault, can be a serious crime in Florida. Call the police and get a full auto accident report. The police report will be an important piece of information used by your lawyer to ensure that your insurance company gives you the full amount you deserve for your auto accident claim. Your auto accident lawyer can also use any other information you can gather yourself at the scene, such as contact information for any witnesses. Taking photos of your car, the other vehicle, and the surrounding area can help to determine the full extent of the damage, and be very useful if the case goes to litigation.
