El Cajon Car Accident Attorney Explains What To Do If You Are Involved In a Car Accident

If you are injured in an auto accident, you must first check to see if you and your passengers are okay, and others involved in the accident. Call 911 if help is not on the way. Then get the other driver’s information:

1. Insurance Name, and policy number;
2. Address and verify it with Driver’s License;
3. Vehicle Information including License Plate number, and the like;

Then, gather any and all witness information. I always recommend to my clients to either have a cell phone with a camera feature so you can take photos of the vehicle position right away. This also works great on slip and fall accidents (take photos of the condition you slipped or tripped on). If you do not have a cell phone with camera, then purchase a disposable camera and keep it in your glove box. Very important to have this in your vehicle because you never know when it will come in handy. I have been handling El Cajon Auto Accidents and other accidents throughout San Diego County since 1999.
