The decisions – both good and bad- that you make after your car accident impact the outcome of your case.  Our Atlanta accident lawyers advise you about what not to do after a Clayton County car accident  in our free book 4 Common Mistakes That Will Ruin Your Georgia Car or Truck Claim.  Now we are going to advise you about what TO do after a crash.

If you’ve been in an accident, we encourage you to:

• Call for Help. If the accident has resulted in serious injuries, significant property damage or if vehicles are unable to move from the traffic lanes, then call 911 and ask that emergency services be dispatched.  For minor accidents you can call the local police department for assistance.
• Get the Names and Addresses of Witnesses.  If you are physically able to do so, ask for the names and contact information of any witnesses to the accident.  They may be important to your accident investigation and recovery.
• Call a Clayton County Car Accident Attorney.  An Atlanta personal injury lawyer can advise you of your legal rights, additional ways that you can help your case, and potential recovery.
