Car Accidents in Vegas, Take the Proper Measures to Protect Yourself


Las Vegas Car Accident Attorneys – How To Avoid Getting Blamed

When you are in an accident, things happen quickly and sometimes you may not be completely sure whether it was your fault or theirs. The truth is, regardless of how you feel about whose fault it is, it is human nature to want to blame the other party for the accident. And that is exactly what will happen if you don’t do anything about an accident. The other party will blame you.

Simple Steps To Take After An Accident

Step 1: Get to a safe place.

Step 2: Call the Police. The number one mistake people make is failing to make a police report in Nevada. The police report will usually place a party at fault, and that will be instrumental in winning your case moving forward.

Step 3: Talk to witnesses. Get witnesses information. The moment an accident happens, people who see it will want to stop. But they won’t want to stick around. Just get their name and number and what they saw. That way you can forward that information to the Police Officer.

Step 4: Are you injured? Go to a doctor immediately. In some cases, the adrenaline may be pumping through your body delaying any pain response for about 24 to 48 hours. As soon as you do feel pain, you should go to a medical professional.

Step 5: Contact an injury lawyer. You should do this before you contact your own insurance company, because everything you say can be used against you. Even when it’s said to your own insurance company.
