What to Do After a Car Crash in St. Louis and Missouri

Car accidents happen fast, and it can be difficult to keep your wits about you in the immediate aftermath. In the seconds, minutes, hours and days after a car accident, there are some important steps to take to not only ensure you get the medical care you need, but will also greatly help your St. Louis car crash law firm when making your case.

Our car crash law firm recommends taking the following steps after a car accident in St. Louis or anywhere in Missouri:

• Get to a safe place. If you are able to move, and to move your car, pull over to the side of the road to prevent further injuries or danger to any oncoming traffic. If possible, render first aid to anyone who may need it. If your injuries are more serious and you cannot move, wait for emergency personnel to arrive and help you.
• Stay at the scene. According to Missouri Revised Statute §577.060, leaving the scene of any accident that causes injury to another person is a class E felony. Furthermore, staying at the scene will help you collect valuable evidence.
• Call 911. Not only are you required to report an accident that causes injury in St. Louis and Missouri, but the police will file their own report assigning fault for the accident. Do not leave the scene of the accident until a police officer tells you to.
• Exchange insurance information with the other driver. You will need their insurance information to make a claim against them. If they do not have insurance, you need to fill our form 1140 with the Missouri Department of Revenue.
• Get contact information from eyewitnesses. Your car crash law firm will later contact them to take official statements and depositions.
• Take pictures if it is safe to do so. Do not just take pictures of the cars or the property damage. Road hazards, weather conditions, skid marks and other details at the scene will help determine liability and prove your case.
• Get medical attention, even if you believe your injuries are minor. Adrenaline can mask pain and injuries immediately following an accident, so your injuries may be worse than you believe. Some injuries such as internal bleeding or whiplash are not immediately evident and worsen over time. You deserve to be compensated for the full extent of your injuries, and often that extent is not evident until you receive an MRI or other medical evaluations.
