Crucial Steps to Take After a Car Accident

Check Yourself First

The first thing you should do if you are involved in a hit-and-run accident is to look over your complete body for injuries before calling an ambulance and the police. Ask a witness to make these calls on your behalf if you can't do it yourself.

Gather Information

Tell the police as much as possible about the accident. They'll be particularly curious about the year, make, and car color that hit you and your injuries as well. Give them the driver's description and information from the license plate if you can.

Look for a Witness

Speak to any onlookers, including other drivers and pedestrians. If it occurs in a neighborhood or retail center, check with the nearby homes and businesses to see if anyone witnessed the occurrence, or better yet, if they have cameras that might have recorded it. A witness can be a valuable asset to your case.

Florida Vehicle Insurance Policies

Even if they were not at fault for the collision, all drivers involved in one are compelled by Florida law to stop and wait for law authorities. The driver's insurance should cover your medical expenses and any property damage if they are found. However, even if the driver cannot be found, Florida's uninsured/underinsured motorist rules may allow you to receive compensation from your insurance provider.
