Title: Protect Your Rights at the Scene of an Accident


1
Protect Your Rights at The Scene of an Accident
2
  • The scene of a car accident can be one of the
    most confusing scenarios to navigate. In addition
    to being emotional shook-up and even in a state
    of shock, all parties are not always peaceful and
    accommodating at the scene.

3
  • With so much happening quickly and added chaos
    from ongoing traffic, its important to
    understand what MUST occur in such critical
    moments and what mistakes are often made, leading
    to a more complex case.

4
  • Keep this handy list in your glove compartment,
    with you insurance, in the event you find
    yourself in this situation in Colorado

  • Steps to Take After an Accident
  • 1. Stop as soon as its safe and make sure you
    and your passengers are away from ongoing
    traffic.
  • 2. Call the police.

7
  • 3. Be careful about what you say. Statements you
    make at the scene, or verbal deals you discuss
    with the other driver, can be used against you
    later.
  • 4. Take pictures of the accident scene and
    vehicles, including license plates.

8
  • 5. Take a photo of all insurance cards.
  • 6. Get the names and telephone numbers of all

Avoid
  • 1. Ignoring the signs and symptoms of an injury
    assuming you will get better.
  • 2. Failing to seek medical treatment, if needed,
    due to fear of the cost or lack of insurance.
  • 3. Failing to report a claim to your own
    insurance company.

11
  • 4. Failing to have your insurance company inspect
    your total loss assuming the at-fault partys
    insurer will be fair.
  • 5. Providing a statement of no injury before
    you understand the situation and have put some
    time and distance between the accident and your
    life.

  • We at SoCo Law, we believe that protecting your
    legal rights starts at the moment of impact in a
    car accident.

14
  • If legal recourse is needed, or diminished value
    is a concern, start with a foundation at the
    scene that will lead to thorough protection of
    your personal rights and responsibilities.
