If you’re looking for a “Tow truck near me now,” we have a few links to reputable tow truck companies in the Charlotte, NC area in this article. Chances are, you may also need a personal injury lawyer. If you’ve been in a car accident and you’re still on the scene, here are a few tips:
- Take Photographs – First, take photographs of the damage to the vehicle that hit you. Once they are gone, so is your chance to capture their damage. Second, take photographs of the damage to your vehicle. The photos of both vehicles will help to prove that the other party was at fault. Lastly, take photos of the area. If possible, walk about 50 feet away from the accident (in a safe area) and photograph the area where the accident happened. This helps provide perspective for your personal injury lawyer or insurance adjuster.
- Request A Police Report—You should call the police, and when they arrive on the scene, make sure to tell them you would like a police report created. You won’t be given a police report on the spot, but you should be provided with a driver exchange form. Your police report will arrive about 5 days later in the mail. Once a police report is generated, we will be happy to provide it to you free of charge– just call us. Or, you request a copy of your police report from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police department.
- Double-Check The Facts With The Officer—Officers are human beings. They get things wrong. Make sure you clearly tell the officer what happened. Then, have the officer repeat it back to you. Listen for any facts that might invite someone to decide whether the accident was your fault or both drivers’ fault. Correct the officer if they get the story wrong.
- Seek Medical Attention Quickly—First, it’s important for you to make sure you’re OK. The adrenaline from the accident may convince you you’re not injured. Or, perhaps you’re trying to ‘tough it out.’ This is no time for that. Second, make sure to tell the ambulance driver and/or ER doctor that you were in a vehicle accident. This will be entered into the medical record and establish the purpose of your visit.
- Continue Your Medical Treatment—You should continue your medical treatment for several reasons. First, you’re following a doctor’s orders, in an attempt to get healthy again. Second, any interruption in your medical treatment will be used against you if you file a personal injury claim later. Lastly, any gaps in medical treatment may be used to demonstrate that you were not injured, or did not need the treatment you received after the gap.
