3 Phone Calls to Make After an Auto Accident

The aftermath of an auto accident can be a disorienting and difficult time. At Cofman Townsley, we know that accident victims are often overwhelmed with everything that just happened—especially if they’re injured—and they may not be sure which steps to take next.
Our St. Louis auto accident lawyers want all victims to know that you don’t have to go it alone after a car accident. Help is available for victims, and it’s just a phone call away. In fact, using your phone immediately after a crash is one of the best things you can do to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your rights to compensation.
The three phone calls all auto accident victims should make right away include:

1. 911. Always report the accident by calling 911, even if you think someone else may have already called. Stay on the line with the dispatcher and provide information like the location of the crash and the number of vehicles involved.
2. Your insurance provider. All insurance companies require notification within a short time period after accidents. Call as soon as possible to avoid jeopardizing your chances of receiving compensation.
3. An auto accident law firm. Getting compensation for an auto accident requires evidence, and evidence can quickly disappear after crashes. The sooner you contact an attorney, the more likely they’ll be able to find evidence to support your claim.
