What to do in the Immediate Aftermath of a Car Accident.

There are over six million auto accidents in America each year.  Many of them occur on the roads of The Great Southwest.  Hopefully, if you are involved in one of them it will not call for legal expertise in its aftermath.  Sometimes an accident between vehicles results in injuries to the passengers inside of them.

Here are some steps to take immediately after an accident –

1.  NEVER drive away from the scene until you are instructed to do so.

2.  Set up flares and keep your flashers on.

3.  Call the police.

4.  Keep an accurate record including that good old cell phone for pictures.

5.  Exchange all information with the other parties.

Above all else…remain calm!  This will lay you and your friends and family in good stead later.  As soon as you are able, please call the law offices of Ken Wagner Law.  They have been helping car accident victims throughout The Great Southwest for decades.  Make an appointment at our Albuquerque office by calling (505) 242-6300.
