What should I do immediately after a road traffic accident?
If I’m involved in a road traffic accident, what are the immediate steps I should take to protect my health, gather evidence, and make sure my claim is as strong as possible?
If you’ve been involved in a road traffic accident, your first priority is your health and safety. Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor, as some symptoms can appear later.
Next, gather as much evidence as possible. This includes exchanging details with the other driver, taking photos of the scene, noting witness contact information, and keeping records of any expenses or losses. If the police attended, request a copy of their report.
Finally, speak to a solicitor as soon as possible. At Claim Time Solicitors, we can guide you through the claims process, handle communication with insurers, and ensure your claim is supported with the right evidence. Acting quickly not only protects your health but also strengthens your case.
