Auto
& Truck Personal Injury
Were
you involved in an Auto or Truck accident?
What should you do?
|
You should obtain as
much correct and complete information as possible at the accident scene (it
will be much more difficult to get vital information later). We have compiled
a list of 7 groups of items you should obtain at the accident scene:
- Driver's name, address, date of
birth, telephone number, driver's license number, driver's license
expiration date, and insurance company name and phone number.

- Vehicle's make, year, model, license
plate number, reg. expiration date, and vehicle identification number.

- Names, addresses, telephone numbers
and insurance companies of the other vehicle's legal and registered owners
(if the driver is not the owner).

- Names, addresses, and telephone
numbers of any passengers in the other vehicle.

- Names, addresses and telephone
numbers of witnesses to the accident. Ask them to stay to talk to the CHP
or police. If they cannot stay, ask them to explain to you what they saw
and if possible write everything down.

- Identify people at the accident
scene, even if they will not give you their contact info. If someone saw
the accident and leaves the scene, you should make a note of his or her vehicle's
license plate number. Law officials can trace the owner's name and address.

- Names and badge numbers of any law
officer who came to the accident scene. Ask the officer where and when you
can get a copy of the accident report. Make a simple diagram of the
accident. Make a diagram of the accident scene on paper, make notes of
traffic conditions, weather, time of day, and any objects such as traffic
lights and signs that might be in the area. Also if you have a camera,
take pictures of the scene.
